Either works.

I've submitted a patch changing the default of extendersOverRests to
what it effectively was hardwired to be before.

Current branch: issue5087
Tracker issue: 5087 (https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/5087/)
Rietveld issue: 318660043 (https://codereview.appspot.com/318660043)
Issue description:
  Let extendersOverRests default to ##t  This was effectively
  unchangingly the case before issue 5053 fixed the respective code.
  However, the relation to actual behavior seems so tenuous that it
  appears more prudent to reenable this by default and only disable it
  again (if at all) once the behavior corresponds better with name and
  documentation.

Someone™ would need to figure out what this option should and should not
do and then the code should be adapted accordingly and its default
decided.
