we'd like to require the use of `mach try` for Try submissions.
So just to be clear, instead of being able to "hg push -f try" will one now need to do "./mach try syntax ....." and put in the actual syntax string on every single try push?
The reason I ask is that a very common use case for me is having a single try syntax that I want to apply to multiple changesets (e.g. bisecting things on try, or doing A/B comparisons on some tests with/without some patches, etc). Having a trysyntax changeset or ten in my mq works pretty well for this. I can give them names that indicate what sort of try push they do, so if I want to do a "linux64, tests, no talos" changeset I don't have to go around digging for the try syntax for it: I already have something that has a name indicating that, and qpushing it is pretty easy with the name-substring matching qpush does.
There are obviously ways mach try could support this, e.g. by being able to easily define aliases for particular ways of pushing to try or whatnot. But it doesn't have an obvious way of doing that right now.
One could also use shell aliases for this, but in practice the lack of substring matching on shell aliases would get annoying, because there are a bunch of kinda-similar variants involved in my experience.
