I agree. I was simply offering a less… um… nuclear doc-revision option.

Much like a few other “seems like a great idea when you're a newbie” (which I
will refrain from explicitly mentioning here), I believe the main use case is
to make it really easy for new users to fix collisions or “hard-code” the rest
position, without introducing them to \override-ing and \tweak-ing.

I agree.
