Is "\tempo 60" without a note duration a typo or is it a proposal for new 
syntax?  It doesn't currently work for me here:

    \score {
      \new Staff {
        \tempo 60
        \time 6/8
        c'4. 4.
      }
      
      \layout {}
      \midi {}
    }

In my scores that use 6/8, I've already specified the beat as "4.", e.g.

  \time 6/8
  \tempo 4. = 64

so I don't understand why it would be important to have an alternative that is 
interpreted the same way.
