A good reason would be that it would allow \relative to be removed
from the parser: currently we need two parser rules to cater for both
cases, whereas deprecating \relative { } would allow the command to be
implemented as a music function instead.

I know this can wait until GLISS starts, but I think we should finally
remove it (I have a patch waiting in the wings. :)
