As far as I know, coda en segno are often (mostly?) used to break the
structure of a piece of music beyond the capabilities of repetition loops.
In programming terms, it's kind of GOTO -- at an arbitrary location you can
say 'jump there' and continue. That would be very hard to catch in terms of
repetition loops. In most programming languages you can eliminate GOTOs but
LilyPond is not a programming language.

I'd love to see some use cases of this hypothetical coda and fine \repeats.
