Feature request: multiplication should work on notes, chords and all rests

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

For some reason, multiplication only works on full-measure rests
and silent rests.

It would be nice to make it work on notes, chords and all kinds of
rests.  For short repetitions, \repeat unfold is an overkill, which
doesn't make the source shorter:

<c e g> <c e g>
vs.
\repeat unfold 2 { <c e g> }
vs.
<c e g>*2

Here's an example that shows the inconsistency:

\version "2.15.22"
\score {
  <<
    \new Staff <<
      \context Voice = "RightOne" { R1*2 b1*2 }
    >>
  >>
  \layout {}
}

The rendered score is attached.  There is no warning, but the result is
not what the user expects.
