Ok, here is another good reason this should get in (actually, pretty much  
the reason I decided to do this): the patch for issue 2705 (necessary for  
making \tempo 4. = ... in \midi do the trick) has more sideeffects when  
this patch is not in as well.  Without it LilyPond will not recognize  
assignments or uses of identifiers containing dashes right after music  
included in output definitions when that music requires lookahead for  
recognizing, and \tempo, one of the more important use cases, does.

So let us put this on the next countdown.  It makes for less surprises in  
future.  And it is probably nice that we can retire the weird

"Named-thing" = ...

construct.  The string quotes really appear out of place here.  I will  
augment this patch with one where such uses are removed.  A separate call  
for countdown does not seem necessary once this passes Patchy.
