Is there an easy solution to across voice slurs

[Derek]

Hi there, 

I was just wondering if there are any options for doing cross voice slurs
like in this silly example

\version "2.16.2"

global = {
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
}

violin = \relative c'' {
  \global
  % Music follows here.
  <<{c2 \(e}\\{c,4 d e f}>>
c'2\) d4 c

}

\score {
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName = "Violin"
    midiInstrument = "violin"
  } \violin
  \layout { }
  \midi {
    \context {
      \Score
      tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 100 4)
    }
  }
}


Where in order to make the slur work I don't have to add another voice
<<{}\\{}>>? This seems a bit strange to me as there are tons of these types
of slurs, at least in the types of music I am looking at. The stems always
need to be rearranged and the rest, if there are any, always end up floating
up or down where they aren't wanted. It seems one has to go through a lot of
hoops just to add a slur. Maybe I am making an issue where there isn't one
but if anyone can shed any light on how to make the slur in the example
above work that would be fantastic
thank you.
