Why not add this now and once obsolete is in place, amend it so that hg commit 
--amend actually calls amend behind the scenes?

Then when users activate the full obsolete extension, they get the tools to do 
even more efficiently what they had been doing before with the simple --amend.

Best wishes,
Arne
