This is definitely ambiguous, but could be a avoided if the syntax was
-r43 (single argument) instead of -r 43 (two arguments). But that's
another debate ;)

I find this solution clear, and actually quite natural. I would also
like to see a more compact form, such as:

  hg revert -oram

to revert only removed, added and modified.
