Right way to make a function for a set of articulations on a note

[Andrew Bernard]

I often need use a tenuoto with a parenthesised accent, but I only just figured out how to achieve that. Now ti would be convenient have a function of some sort as a shorthand.

Is this the right way to do it that I came up with? I feel a bit uncomfortable about the <>, and maybe this should be some sort of post event, like articulations themselves?

\version "2.19.82"

artic = { <> ^- -\parenthesize ^> }
{ 
  \artic c'' d'' \artic e''
}
