I believe this patch is important.  There is a lots of extension out 
there implementing new revset. We are adding smarter feature which are 
mostly a super set of the old behavior (using list). There is no good 
reason to break the compatibility for our user out there.

I know we do not have a public API but this does not mean we should 
gratuitously break widely used a trivial API. (I could compare that to 
breaking the changectx API for no good reason).

Did you actually test it with old style code?

We can probably just check for the presence of a `set` attribute. as it 
is the most visible addition of the new object.
