I'm afraid you won't have much luck with this syntax since it would
require several parser changes which would most likely be vetoed.

I'd suggest a music function taking a scheme list as an acceptable
alternative, e.g.,

\multiMeter #'((6 . 8) (3 . 4))

This should be achievable entirely in scheme.  Here's a link to a
scheme engraver version of Time_signature_engraver which should
provide a suitable launchpad:
