I just noticed in the NEWS that this feature has been added too
Lilypond. I had to test it immediately. :-) There seems to be a small
problem with manual volta brackets (don't ask me why I used them,
sometimes a man's got to do what a man's got to do).

If I use ordinary double repeat barlines ":|:" the brackets behave
quite nicely. However, if I use the new ones the first bracket is
missing the right vertical part. LP complains about:
warning: already have a volta spanner, ending that one prematurely

That warning also occurs with the default bar line.
