It doesn't solve the case I usually run into. I'll do inst-var-defs and
then do implementors-of three times, and spot some code that I'd like to
change. If that code is in a different module, I still have to choose a
different changeset manually. I don't want to have to go find that method
in a different browser, either. The code is there, I'd like to change it and
have it go to the right changeset. In a lot of cases, this can be done.
