Re: completing a bar automatically with rests

What is it supposed to do?
Dear David,
I would like to do something like this:
%%%snippet %%%%%%
% fully written out example
\relative c' {
  \time 4/4
  c8 r8 r4 r2
  r2 fis8 r8 r4
  \time 3/4
  c8 r8 r4 r4
  r8 e  r4 r
}
%% desired form of how to input code
\relative c' {
  \time 4/4
  \makerests 4/4 c8
  \makerests 4/4 {r8 fis }
  \time 3/4
  \makerests 3/4 c8
  \makerests 3/4 { r8 e}
}
%%%%%
Off course, one should have a shortcut for makerhythm (eventually defined in frescobaldi or selsewhere). This could   save a lot of typesetting and it would be harder to write too many or less rests.
