Since tiempo will never return anything but a "post-event", there is no
point in using define-music-function rather than define-event-function
here.  With define-event-function, c''4\tiempo "1" will be acceptable as
well.

Incidentally: you know that the normal \tempo command can be given just
a string?  It would probably make sense to base your command on a
variation of that.
