It's unnatural for me.  To properly support it, we had to introduce a
property, say, `numbers-of-bars-triggering-thick-barline'.  But as
soon as we need a property, it makes much more sense to me to have a
different one, namely `end-bar', which tells LilyPond which bar line to
use at the end of a piece.
