"Easier to work on if it is already in master" is nonsense.  Master is a  
moving target, debugging things will have to take place in a fixed copy.

2815 is a pure front-end only patch.  It may change some order of garbage  
collection but that's it.  If the regtests exactly in the area you have  
been working on flip around, it is not related in any useful manner.  It  
may well be that you are working with uninitialized memory or are not  
properly protecting variables you are working with.

If this code did not make LilyPond regress, you would not need to tamper  
with all standard predefined slur overrides in our code base in the first  
place.  Obviously you can't catch any overrides in user code in that manner.

I don't see the point in destabilizing master with known faulty code.  I  
don't understand why you think debugging can't happen in a private branch.
