That's not so easy on this one.  Slur properties and (part of)
implementation is quite hairy.

Anyay, you could have tried looking at the internal documentation for
PhrasingSlur, going down this path

    http://lilypond.org/development/Documentation/out-www/index.html
    
http://lilypond.org/development/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/lilypond-internals.html
    
http://lilypond.org/development/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/PhrasingSlur.html#PhrasingSlur

In this case, the only relevant doco says:

details (list):
alist of parameters for detailed grob behavior. Default value:
'((height-limit . 2.0) (ratio . 0.333) (force-blowfit . 0.5)
(bezier-pct-c0 . -0.2) (bezier-pct-c3 . 6.0e-6) (bezier-pct-out-max
. 0.8) (bezier-pct-in-max . 1.2) (bezier-area-steps . 1.0))

So you should have looked at lily/slur.cc, to see that height-limit is
the thing you want.  I never liked grouping these things in `details',
and here you have a good case why it was bad.  Only lily/slur.cc can
tell you that you need height-limit.
