sequences now stand for unpitched notes

Well, the first person I remember calling for that syntax is a certain  
Werner Lemberg:

It also allows to replace the Mars example:

rhythm =
#(define-music-function (parser location p) (ly:pitch?)
   "Make the rhythm in Mars (the Planets) at the given pitch"
  #{ \tuplet 3/2 { $p 8 $p $p } $p 4 $p $p 8 $p $p 4 #})

with the somewhat more readable

rhythm =
#(define-music-function (parser location p) (ly:pitch?)
   "Make the rhythm in Mars (the Planets) at the given pitch"
  #{ \tuplet 3/2 { $p 8 8 8 } 4 4 8 8 4 #})

which has the additional advantage that it does not go bonkers in \relative  
mode.

In general, it makes mostly rhythmical input more straightforward.  But it  
does not apply to chords, and it does not copy articulations.  Stuff like  
that could be done using explicit music functions, but it can't be the  
default.  A comment somewhere explains why this would be a really bad idea:  
basically it would cause chords and articulations to creep into unrelated  
material that's supposed to be rhythm-only.  The same creep will happen for  
pitches, but that just means that rhythm-only applications should ignore  
pitches.
