Filesets: wishlist

Looks pretty much like it. Are you suggesting that pipe() exists? Although
from the example command line it looks like pipe() doesn't accept a set as
a parameter. Looking at the fileset documentation it appears that in
general directives can be chained as expressions but not stacked. E.g.

hg revert "set:copied() and binary() and size('>1M')"

generates three independent subsets of all files and returns the set of all
common files. IOW, I cannot use a cheap (e.g. fast) filter to comb through
my files before passing the result to a more expensive filter. Is that
correct? I really like revset with nesting, aliases, etc.

Cheers
Marcus
