#3949 \stopStaff \startStaff leaves a gap

Modifying the StaffSymbol mid-system without breaking the staff lines requires something like this:
  \stopStaff
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol.foo = bar
  \startStaff

But this leaves round-edged staff lines on both sides of the break, which is visible as a small disruption in each staff line.  In general, I like the rounded edges of the staff lines, but in this particular case it would be nice if the staff lines were not disrupted at all.

Here is a workaround:

{
  c2
  \hide Staff.BarLine \bar "|"
  \stopStaff
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol.color = #red
  \startStaff
  c2
}
