?

keywords are expanded for "hg cat" because expansion happens
before applying any filters. That's still the behaviour after I
cancelled a different approach inspired by you (was not working
with update).

iirc, you would have preferred "hg cat" to *not* expand keywords,
but this is not the case, unless you use one of my broken
proposals.

ctx.filectx(abs).data() reads filelog, which is actually
kwfilelog for files matching [keyword] config pattern, and thus
contains data with keywords expanded.

Or do you want keywords expanded for "hg cat -d" even for files
/not/ configured in [keyword] section?
