Thanks for the suggestion, Mike.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you are referring to the
skipFirstLength and skipLastLength features:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/skipping-corrected-music

In which case, there is an existing tracker here:

Let me know if I have analysed your suggestion properly. If so, I'll add your 
request as a comment on that older tracker.

Cheers,
Colin.
