It's not always necessary, but regularly in orchestral parts, you will
have a new tempo or expression mark over each of several adjacent
multirests (especially with the overly verbose German composers like
Strauss and Mahler). So it would come in handy for me...

Why can't LilyPond figure out the length of the text itself?
Maybe a new feature somebody wants to sponsor?
That would be a very helpful and time-saving feature, especially when
producing orchestral parts. How much would it be worth? I'd be
willing to contribute a modest amount if a few others wanted to join
in as well.
It's not clear to me that the mm-rest text should be kept between the
barlines. Of course, I can have a look into the cost of such a
modification.
