It does.  The symbol order does determine the priority.  Problem is,
at start of a stave the *only* symbol that is present is the staff
bar.

It is not necessary, we could scrap both of these.  I figure however,
that when adding break-aligned-ness to other engravers (text-spanner
etc), it could would be nice if they could make use of mm-rest's
alignment position.  Possibly it's better to remove both and add
when needed -- I don't know.
