If you consider it "quite useful for finding and repairing input errors",  
and "any mixed-in 'a' would raise suspicions", then this would call for a  
notename language "english-n" which would _only_ allow "an" (where is the  
point in having suspicious notes that are not flagged?).  Your example  
would then have to be written as

\displayLilyMusic \transpose dn an {dn4 fs an cs'}

If you feel that you would prefer using this input style, making a language  
for it seems feasible.  If you just want certain piece-dependent notes to  
change names, one could create a suitably half-naturalized English language  
on-demand.  However, this would cause problems when trying to cut&paste  
into a different half-naturalized English language.

You call this a "superior entry method", but indeed it seems more like an  
entry method rather than a reliable way of expressing music: it would seem  
that using some editor script to verify/finalize your passages depending on  
the particular accidentals you want to see naturalized explicitly in input  
would make more sense.
