I am not sure whether LilyPond should support user sloppiness.

Either we handle unassociated Lyrics as if \addlyrics was written
and make '\addlyrics' redundant/superfluous, or LilyPond should
raise an error about spurious Lyrics.

Just a thought. Would it make sense to handle unassociated Lyrics
like a text markup, quite as David proposed? I could imagine that
something like

would be quite cool.

Just my 2ct
