skip whole measure without using duration

[Kieren Richard MacMillan]

Hello, all!

Is there a way to skip a whole measure -- regardless of time signature 
-- without specifying the duration of the skip?

I'm thinking of the case where one defines the time signature in a 
global block:

    global = \notes
    {
        \time 7/4 s4*7
        \time 2/2 s2*2*5
        \time 9/4 s4*9
        %% and so on...
    }

Instead, I think it would be great to be able to say 's' by itself to 
indicate an entire measure:

    global = \notes
    {
        \time 7/4 s
        \time 2/2 s*5
        \time 9/4 s
        %% and so on...
    }

Is this possible already? If not, what's the protocol for submitting a 
feature request?

Thanks,
Kieren.
