\acciaccatura uses Slur, ofcourse!

But I think it does not make any sense to write a slur between equal notes.
As a player I'd always read the second example as a Tie.

{ c''1~ c'' }
{ c''1( c'') }

One can deal with it:

startGraceMusic =  {
  \temporary \override Tie.stencil = #ly:tie::print
}

stopGraceMusic =  {
  \revert Tie.stencil
}
\relative c'' {
  \override Tie.stencil =
  #(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob "      whatever"))
  c1~ c
  \set tieWaitForNote = ##t
  \grace { g8~ cis_~ }
  <g cis ees>4 s2.
  c1~ c
}


So the main question remains, what's meant? Really a Slur or a Tie?

Default-Tie looks as I would think it should.
Slurs may be far more difficult to adjust, I see no other way than
going for the control-points, directly or via
shape/shapeII/some-custom-function.
