I think I'm missing property listings in the interface descriptions.
I'll have a think on the patch: is this sane behavior for an arpeggio
bracket?

Basically, I think that it should not be that difficult to write a
BracketSpanner, that puts brackets around what ever is acknowledged in
between \spanreq \start "bracket" and \spanreq \stop "bracket". You
could even let the bracket-engraver dynamically choose why types of
grobs to bracket.
