Maybe it would be a more generic/straightforward/maintainable approach 
not to create a parallel approach but to inject it in the current behaviour:
- generate a mapping between the postscript and the OpenType glyph names
- create an additional implementation to access the glyphs from the font
  (currently there are different implementations to access the glyphs
   when running lualatex or xelatex)
- use \lilyGetGlyph just as for the existing versions.

This wouldn't automatically create commands for all existing glyphs but 
it would make the use consistent regardless of the used latex engine.

But actually I don't know enough about this to be able to say anything 
_really_ useful (which is why I haven't implemented it so far.
