Wow, i'm CCed! Why?

Hello,
In my everyday use of LilyPond I am often annoyed by the fact that
—especially in "tighter situations"— full measure rests take very
little horizontal space, hence their measure width are much more
*compressed* than neighbouring measures.
This results in IMHO poor output.
I think i agree that full measure rest should take the same amount of
space as full measure note.
I do not know what "engraving references" say about the horizontal
_measure width_ in the case of "full measure rest" but I would have
expected a full measure rest to take as much horizontal space as the
corresponding-duration note (full measure-duration note).
Someone could confirm this?
The only way of confirmation that comes to my mind (as i don't have
any engraving books) is to go to imslp.org, click 'random page' 30
times and see what appears... It is a very brutal method.
cheers,
Janek
