That blog post doesn't really explain things, it just shows a bunch of
examples. You'll get better feedback if you 1) explain exactly what
you want to change and 2) provide a patch.

That said, backwards incompatible changes to Mercurial are not done
lightly. You might be better off writing an extension to show to the
world that your way is better.
