I wanted to put out the usual "we need to document this" tirade, but it
turns out that
<URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/defining-new-contexts>
actually does state

    Since it is similar to the Voice, we want commands that work on
    (existing) Voices to remain working. This is achieved by giving the
    new context an alias Voice,

        \alias Voice

Which is rather close.
