Hi Kieren,
how do you think that this feature is more useful than \tweaking the y-offset? If the documentation explains how to move a rest, the officially recommended way should be using \tweak in my opinion. It's unclear to me what's the use case of the option of adding a note to a \rest (which in itself sounds like a contradiction). If we follow the WSIWYM paradigm, you can't possibly mean to put a "note-rest" somewhere. Perhaps not pointing that out or removing the feature altogether is better in the long run?
