Is this related to

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/277710/focus=278326

in any way?  My gut feeling is that, while the original patch itself
breaks existing uses and is not acceptable as-is, its idea is good,
and we are OK with a change like that if it added a new/different
kind of %>|(N) that makes the new behaviour available to those who
want to use it, without negatively affecting existing uses.
