Ledger lines have sharp corners

Examining the lilypond output pdf's at high magnification,
and noticing all the trouble you've gone to in order to
round the corners of the various flats and so forth, the
square corners on the ledger lines seem to be an inconsistency.
Wouldn't it be desirable to give them rounded corners just like
every other symbol?

What program are you using to view the PDF output?  I don't see sharp
corners at all in xpdf.  See the attached image.
