Cut-common is often found in band parts and effectively doubles the pace, at least that is my interpretation.
It all depends on the tempo markings, of course. It's quite possible to have a slow 2/2. The real difference is in the accents and the "feel" of the music. 2/2 flows differently from 4/4 because there are fewer beats (and therefore fewer accents) per bar.
As far as whether one uses numbers or c-shaped symbols, I think that the c-shaped symbols are traditional in certain types of music, but that the numbers seem to have become standard practice in modern music. It would make sense to me for Lilypond to have choices like use-numbers or use-symbols.
I think there have been other answers in this thread explaining how to change the default layout to use numbers.
(And what about the circle-with-a-line that Bach uses for 16/8 in the gigue of the E major keyboard partita? Is that in Lilypond somewhere, or is it too obscure to include such things?)
No problem, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#time.ly
