I had so much trouble trying to use it
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-10/msg00099.html)
that I convinced Trevor to purge it from the documentation.

They work fine for when a player switches from Flute to Piccolo and back.

instrumentSwitch>

The difficulty was in trying to inject the right instrumentSwitch text
into the automatically-created CueVoice.  When instruments cue from each
other, it becomes a very difficult to keep the voices straight.

The smaller size does not come from instrument switch; it comes from 
the settings of CueVoice.  fontSize = #-4
