What happens if I want the old behaviour?  Do I have to move the
Dot_column_engraver back to the Staff context and forgo the
improvements in more complicated situations?

The following example looks plain weird.  I've never seen any
hand-engraved music align dots like this.

\relative c'' << { c16.[ c32] } \\ { a2. } >>
