Greg called this out specifically in his excellent summary.

FB also has a "show" extension that replaced our "show" alias: 
https://bitbucket.org/facebook/hg-experimental/src/default/hgext3rd/show.py

Therefore, I would also slightly prefer "view", but I admit I don't care 
about hgk (even though we have it on at FB and it doesn't seem to work 
at all...)

I'll respond to the original as well so I can respond inline to the code 
and summary.
