Is toward-stem-shift not the right thing to change instead of
X-offset?

Making something like this the default behavior would be great (the
above I think is a modified version of something you, David, created
in the past). The current lilypond default of 0.5 for toward-stem-shif
for staccato doesn't make much sense to me. A fix for this should also
take into account other articulations that behave like staccato
(staccatissimo, stopped (I've seen this one both ways), etc.)
