Additional advantage would be that they don't require Shift to produce

I don't really agree.  staccato is -. so it seems natural for me to have
staccatissimo as -! (I mean, it was -| before).  In addition, ' and ,
are slanted in most fonts and that does not really match the visuals of
staccatissimo.

I crosschecked with the parser and it would not object to either.  The
only argument _for_ such a change would be more visual similarity rather
than mnemonic value and that rules out -, pretty definitely.  One could
talk about -' at most.  It would be sort of a nuisance to change that
including all documentation again but there would be no technical
problem doing that.
