OK, I see what you mean.
But I'd still propose to include it in the snippets repository as soon 
as possible. "Our" repository is significantly different from LilyPond 
itself, and also from the official LSR. Having incomplete, buggy or 
experimental snippets in it is perfectly OK as long as they are 
documented accordingly.
And as I said earlier LilyJAZZ is already out in the wild, used, 
discussed and asked for, but presumably in a number of personal 
variations, with people having applied all kinds of personal 
improvements or patches.
Having it in the oll snippets would provide
- a common reference location to point interested people to
- an "authoritative" "latest version"
- a convenient central place for development
  where everybody can add his improvements.
