Would be great to have MultiMeasureRest #'use-breve-rest settable.

This would engrave whole rest as MMR:

{
  \time 4/2
  \override MultiMeasureRest #'use-breve-rest = ##t
  R1*4/2 |
}

I would mark this as a defect, because it is actually (see the issue  
1014)... Okay, let it be an enhancement which may fix that defect (which  
should be fixed in it's own way).
