No. I got that from
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-04/msg00531.html

I'm not sure about that because that wasn't the problem at hand.
My problem was that I have to merge multimeasure rests that were written 
as e.g.

R1*4 {} R1*6

The empty expression is a music function that can return a \break (-> no 
rest merging) or an empty expression.
The linked function is able to merge consecutive rests when they are of 
the same type.

As I didn't look too close into the thread you linked I don't know if my 
problem is related to yours, but I suspect it's rather something different.
