This is a very good idea, I think we need to include a lot more batteries,
like lessdiff, lesslog and bzrtools (I don't really know if these are
feasible).

I always show off to my colleagues how nicely my bzr works with all my
lesslog & lessdiff
aliassed into my diff & log commands.
But it's a bit daunting for new users to  start installing plugins,
I for one, used bzr a long time before even trying to install plugins.
Plugins are great, but when they become commonly used, they should
probably be assimilated into bzr.

one note though, difftools does not seem to support dotted revision numbers
