I haven't thought through BC, but I think that's what I'd prefer if we were writing rebase from scratch. I know we can't support `hg rebase -r C -d 'B + D'` for backward-compatibility reasons (because we already support that -- it rebases to the highest revnum in the set).

  The example I have was meant to be a practical example for how to do it in the case given in the patch description :) But let me know if you meant some other aspect of "how it works". As I said, I'm not sure ant the BC bit of it at least.
