Maybe I've misunderstood the terminology here - due to our timezones, I
always read your emails before I've had any caffeine for the day ;)
Thinking about it more, I think this is what you mean:

Grandparent line: a line which skips one or more parent revisions, but
still joins up to something on the current graph.

Non-parent line: a line which extends past the end of the current graph.

If that's right, then yes, we're both talking about the second case.

To me ~ looks like a terminator (similar to - for a closed branch) and I
suspect that had to do with my misunderstanding. I like * as it has
symmetry with globbing - it's saying there's more to the line that we're
not explicitly spelling out.

But anyway, I'm not implementing it - go with your gut.
