I think that the main point here is that we should document how lilypond
works now.. and now if you use slurs you'll get hammer-on(s) and
pull-off(s) in TabStaff.

I know the notation using P and H, it was used some years ago and it's
very rare nowadays. I think that it's just redundant and noisy: you can
easily guess by the numbers if it's a hammer-on or a pull-off.
It was discussed in the tablature mailing list:
http://lilypond-s-support-for-tablatures.3383434.n2.nabble.com/

I see your point about the difference between slurs and
hammer-on/pull-off, but it would take a lot of space to discuss it and
it's probably off topic here.
