Well!  Didn't know anyone else was using that!  Turns out two people 
are.  I used writethrough for a long time, but I'm using cached archives 
now.

Writethrough's useful, but a step backwards in some ways.  It 
reinterprets what you ask it to do, by appending -SOURCE when you 
commit/tag/etc.  And it makes a stronger distinction between official 
and registered names, but the plan for tla in general is to get rid of 
that distinction.

So I'm glad you'd like it to go in, but I'm hoping to get something 
better in, instead.
