So we could add documentation and a proper help. I'm not sure that all end-users will be able to understand the revsets and I don't think the tweakdefaults comments will be available to them.
  
  
  I found the revset helpful for understanding what it does. I understand non-power users may feel differently.

  If you read the comment or the test, it's already handled by using `first(A+B)`.
  
  > Also as a user, I would like to restack only my current stack (no matter how it is defined) if I have other orphans changesets (like if parts of my changesets have been queued), I don't want them to be rebased while I'm working on something else.
  
  That's doable by changing `-r`.
  
  > With all these considerations, I would prefer to have restack as an experimental extension and not activated by default. We highlight it during 4.4 announcement so people could test with their own workflow and gives feedback before activating it by default.
  
  That sounds okay. I'll move the code to `hgext`.
