Here's what I wrote, renaming Aaron's function:

pickupNotes =
#(define-music-function (mus) (ly:music?)
   (_i "Make a partial measure.")
   (let* ((mom (ly:music-length mus))
          (dur (make-duration-of-length mom)))
     (make-music 'SequentialMusic
       'elements
       (list (context-spec-music
               (make-music 'PartialSet
                           'origin (*location*)
                           'duration dur)
               'Timing)
         mus))))


\relative
{
  \time 4/4
  \pickupNotes {c'8 d} |
  e4 f g a
}

I think it's nicely descriptive and doesn't need to use convert-ly.
