I think these changes sound scary, it is an additional hack in the parser
machinery. I think it would be cleaner if \times could be changed to a proper
music function, e.g. as
\tuplet 2 3 {...}
This would remove rules from the parser instead of adding them.
(Hm, my suggestion is not really in line with this discussion; I can agree
that \tuplet 2 3 would be easier to confuse with "3:2" than \tuplet 2/3 is).
