OK, disregard the parenthetical comment in the patch then.

I have no opinion and as far as I know my patch makes no change in the 
behavior of the keywords extension; it merely applies decode filters in 
case you specify --decode, and otherwise behaves as before. If you want 
to make some change in the behavior of hg cat w.r.t. keywords, that 
would probably be a separate patch.
