As your comment indicates, you will want to move these to
scm/output-lib.scm. When you are up to speed on git, please do so.
Once you send me a patch, I'll check it and push to git, and it will become
part of LilyPond.
Oh, by the way, you will want to make a standard LilyPond comment block at
the top of the file -- see existing files for a pattern.

This is exactly the right thing to do. LilyPond defined functions should
always be descriptive. If users want the convenience of defining a
shortcut, it's quite easy to do so.

You're very welcome. It's always a pleasure to help somebody who is
learning to contribute!
Thanks,
