True, but I'm often testing at the same time as I'm checking something
in the (potential) patch or in the log.  Then it becomes convenient.

hg_sage.[tab]  # Useful and immediate
hg_sage.commit? # Not quite as useful (needs more examples) and
immediate

I agree that once one gets used to using two separate programs (Sage
and HG) as opposed to using HG from within Sage, you will be more
efficient and it's easy.  Using grep and things of that ilk is also
more efficient and easier than "Search -> Replace", but it takes
time.  Lowering barriers to development :)
