I'm more looking for user in core.

hg serve have some flag only used by other script, they seems good 
candidate. This could make good initial user

     --stdio                     for remote clients
     --cmdserver MODE            for remote clients

The --ssh related flag for clone and push/pull are probably good 
candidate too (but it is less clear)

Can you send a V3 flag --stdio and --cmdserver as advanced, I would most 
probably take that.

Cheers,
