Here is another variant that's a bit bold:

\voice^1 \voice_1 \voice^2 \voice_2

This will syntactically take a fingering event as input.  However, this
does not work as

\voices 1,2,-2,-1 << \\ ... \\ >>

does.  I am not totally sure whether \voices ^1^2_1_2 << \\ ... \\ >>
might not be parseable (as a single post-event) but it won't mix with
symbolic names for voice contexts.  So while it is a cute replacement
for \voiceOne ... and is expressive concerning its direction, I am not
sure it's a winner.
