what you say is true, of course, since the engine just adds to the momentum (and inertia) of the moving car while in gear.

i'd guess it would be harder (for me) to properly rev-match if the rpms are allowed to fall all the way to idle by disengaging the clutch as soon as the brakes are applied.
This should be only done if your changing down a gear. If you don't need to change down gear you will not be brake enough anyways to have the engines interia be a problem.
