I mostly set vocal music - typically clean SATB with exactly four

However, I attach lyrics to the voices, and that's why I give them
sensible names - namely, "sop" (or "soprano"), "alt", etc. The
implicit voice naming with << \\ >> means that I have to split my
lyrics to separate context, or I'll have to rename the voices inside

No, it just means that your lyrics have to follow the staff rather than
a single voice unless your lyrics split as well.
Can't find the issue number where this was made to work. Still has
problems with overlapping melismata if I remember correctly, so maybe
that's why it's not advertised prominently.
Hum. You mean if I name the staff instead of the voices, I can create
lyrics that follow all voices that are active on this staff?
Doesn't seem to work, but I might not have the right syntax. The only
thing I'm aware of is using an "aligner" NullVoice, as shown in NR
2.1.2: Polyphony with shared lyrics, but that's kinda clumsy, too.
By the way, your reply to Werner shows pretty much what I actually would
consider useful: :-)

The problem I see right away with that is that it is useful. How is
that a problem?
<<
\new Voice = "soprano" {

\voices 1,soprano << ... \\ ... >>
...
}
\lyricsto "soprano" { ... }

Lo and behold, we have a solution for an old problem.
