would it be feasible to remake it into an integer pair, so that these
two could be distinguished?

Only because we're not used to this convention - who knows what will
happen when LilyPond will rule the world of music engraving? Maybe
everyone will talk about 12th notes then?
Seriously though, i think this syntax would be very useful for
algorithmic composers and computer programs manipulating Lily code.
Another advantage is code readability and ease of copying it (shall i
elaborate?)
Besides, it's not like we would loose any functionality: \times would
still be there.
