Definitely!

Looks good; it matches the existing \arpeggioBracket.  

Should we modify the existing \arpeggioBracket to include
the override to 'X-extent?  Should we also define a command
to return to the default behaviour?  \arpeggioDefault maybe?  
(\arpeggioNeutral reverts the stencil, but also reverts the direction,
so isn't quite right).
