I don't know whether this new whole rest is a common notation; if not 
and you only need that for
yourself, I'd not edit the mf sources but create a markup that looks 
like the shape.
Once you managed this, you can write a callback for Rest #'stencil that 
checks for the duration
of the rest, applies your markup if it is 1 and calls ly:rest::print 
otherwise.

HTH,
