If you, or anybody, is planning a major overhaul of linespec, I'd
appreciate it if you could coordinate with me first; my "ambiguous
linespec" patch touches linespec heavily and I would prefer not to have
to redo it all.

The simplest way to coordinate would be to pull from
archer-tromey-ambiguous-linespec.
