Both enhancement requests are on the same general topic, which is
automated counting of items (e.g. bars) in the music that are repeated.
This recent request from Clement, as Xavier pointed out, calls for
slightly more advanced features than the one which resulted in issue
146.

Understood, but I'm ok with the comments. Xavier's suggestion of using
that context property was a good one.
In summary then:
Lilypond does not have a feature for automated counting of arbitrary
items. See issue trackers 2445 and 146 for more information.
Code has been contributed for making a start on implementing this
feature. See the issue trackers above.
You can get a "1" above a single bar of full measure rest using this syntax:
{
\set restNumberThreshold = #0
R1 | R1 | R1 |
}
Lilypond does not support counting the first item of a percent repeat.
I hope Clement will prepare a simple documentation suggestion to make the role
of restNumberThreshold clearer.
Cheers,
Colin.
