Great !  Thanks.  I appreciate your assistance and modifications.

There are some corner cases with guards that it doesn't really deal

If it wasn't clear before, it's probably clear now, that I don't use guards
much at this point and this was a weak spot in the patch. ;-)

Thanks for noticing this.

There's the open question about what regular commands should get a "q"

I mostly agree, and am only making changes in places that I find to be
relatively useful and/or help avoid some level of pain/frustration/typing. I
concur that not every command needs a variant. I've been using mq a fair
amount with 20+ (and growing) repositories. These changes have come about as
a result of constant use of mq within scripts, makefiles, and general use.
I'm not on a mission to provide completeness so much as to make my life
easier. Submission of the patches is my attempt to help make others' lives
easier as well.

I have submitted 3 additional patches that are mq related (in separate
emails).  Add qstatus; add qfiles; and extend the range/usefulness of
[collections] in the web interface.

Thanks !
