Ok, I get the point, but still – what's wrong with an appropriate 
override, say

fragment = \override Score.finarBarType = "|"

and then

\fragment
\relative c'' {
  c2 fis
  c2 ges
  b2 eisis
  b2 feses
}

?

I really would not like to have to tell LilyPond for every piece I write to
end it with a final bar line ;-)
