This is conceptually relevant but practically a different issue. Not
only because of the mentioned complexity (which I'd rather *not* touch
in addition to everything else) but also because it's a different place
in the code as well. The code I am working on takes a given beam for
granted. Deciding what to beam automatically has already been done by
that time. And for the beaming pattern it doesn't make a difference
whether the beam has been created manually or automatically.

So I suggest you post a feature request to bug-lilypond.
