Really?  I was pretty sure the original strip functionality that came
with mq only did a truncate, since at that time, especially before
named branch support, truncate was all mq really needed.

Good to know that strip has this support; so that means that deleting
a named branch and actually physically getting rid of the commits
wouldn't be that hard to implement, right?
