I don't really think so.  Without a slash, the grace note is rather  
certainly intended as an appogiatura.  You could write this as
\relative c''{ <<
{ a16 g g g \appoggiatura a8 g4 }
{ a16 g g g \appoggiatura a16 g8 g16 g }
> > }
and would still get the attached result which is clearly wrong since the  
execution will have the appoggiature, if any, obviously starting at the  
exact same point of time.

In my opinion, it would likely be best to format grace notes  
_independently_ from material in other voices and just stick them close to  
the note they belong to.  It does not really make sense to let them form  
note columns.  Without having to associate them with an actual global  
musical moment, iteration might get simpler (though Midi might still be  
tricky), and we have good reason to want to get rid of issue 34.
