I think the interaction between this and other properties has to be
nailed down.  I'm not sure if it behaves "as expected" in conjunction
with whatever other property affects endpoints (to-barline,
bound-padding).

I'd welcome testing.

Also, there's the issue of programming language.  Should this
enhancement be added to the C++ original--easy enough-- or should the
distro ly:hairpin::print be replaced by a Scheme version?

I'd like to see the stencil function in Scheme, because it would then
be very convenient for users to adapt it to their needs.

A drawback would be speed, but would that even be noticeable?

You're very welcome.
