As Tomas noted, this is already possible (this was due to some patches from Pierre a few months ago, I think). But IIRC, there are some corner cases where send-email has to guess whether you mean rev-list options or a file (or maybe there is some way to signal, I don't remember). And that is exactly the sort of thing that you could clean up via (2) above.
