Just curious about UI changes, why not use -r option instead of 
--shallow/--horizon? For example:

bzr branch -r -1.. <=> bzr branch --shallow <=> bzr branch --horizon -1
bzr branch -r -100.. <=> bzr branch --horizon -100
bzr branch -r -100..-10 <=> bzr branch -r -10 --horizon -100

I think there is already a plenty of concepts in Bazaar so simplification 
should be one of the important goals.
