I see Matt's point about how this is already possible ... if you are a
3-star Unix jock who already knows about patch and `hg qnext`, etc.
etc.  I think this is a very useful addition.  I'm pretty sure there
are cases where I could not be bothered to do

  hg qpop
  patch -p1 < .hg/patch/`hg qnext`

but I would have bothered with

  hg qpop --keep

I know it's a trivial difference, it's just less cognitive load.  This
feels like a really handy addition to qpop.
