Liquid HG is, in a sense, an unified abstraction on top of all
techniques that allow editing history.
Once it is done, we will still have multiple ways to modify history,
but with a common vocabulary, and commands in core to propagate
"liquid" changes, as well as ways to "freeze" liquid changes so that
they're not editable again.

Spending time on MQ is definitely worth it: from MQ perspective,
adding liquid HG features will just mean improving usability and
extending features.
