Bookmarks with hg update question

My 2 cents here. One of the things I've always loved about mercurial
is that commands generally do one thing and one thing only. hg update
updates the parent of your working copy. That's it. hg pull copies
changesets from a remote repository into mine. It doesn't merge, it
doesn't rebase, it doesn't update. So nice and simple. When you feel
like throwing caution to the wind there are options to pull that will
cause it to do those other things too, but those are *not* the
default. It would feel much more mercurial-y if update worked the
same with regard to bookmarks. Please count me as a vote for fixing
this (with all due concern for backwards compatibility, options for
flexibility in the behavior and so on).
