Right. Although:

"Bear in mind that extensions are not "canonical", and their
behavior may change or break core Mercurial functionality"

Which one is it then? ;-)

It's not a Config option:
"We may deprecate some options, giving their replacements
different names"

In the next patch the behaviour is changed too. I try to
summarize again what the series changes:

old option names   old behaviour                      new option names    new behaviour 
-u/--untracked     additionally show unknown files    -u/unknown          unknown files only (like status)
-a/--all           show [keyword] files w/o unknown   -A/--all            all files, except ignored

I mainly thought of the command as interactive, not for parsing;
but of course it /could/ be parsed.

Hm.
