No. Now and here's the discussion, I see no need to split it up into two 
threads at different locations.
Of course, you are free to add links to this thread ;-)

As you can see from 0001-Better-lyric-extender-handling.patch it needs one more 
change,
and and automatic solution (don't write "__" but get extenders where they are 
needed)
requires the scheme code by Alexander.

But at the moment I think this is all that is needed, and yes, it seems to be 
that simple.

If testing does not show problems, the code should be added to lilypond.

Todo:

- cleanup of c++ code
- proper documentation.
