This is definitely an idea I like, as it means I'm less likely to forget 
it as I continue to add to the project and will make it easier to 
convert when this gets into LilyPond proper.

When I add this to the bottom of autoextenders.ily I get the following 
error:

Based on memories of reading this list, and the hint about number of 
arguments, I realized that the problem was because I'm using 2.19.53 and 
the parser argument is no longer required.  Deleting that got things 
working.  It should be noted that this was not something that convert-ly 
run on autoextenders.ily caught; I had to do this manually.

I thought of using sed too, but thanks to Simon don't have to anymore. 
What I was more concerned about, however, was the time needed to review 
the results of the application to see if anything broke as a result. 
After a quick review of the half-dozen or so examples I have entered for 
this project so far, everything seem fine.
