So as an emacs developer, I would assume you tend to edit *in* emacs.

How would you specify the diff hunks in a non-interactive way? You can
specify specific files with --all, such as:

 bzr shelve --all just/one/file

etc.

I'll also note that Vincent uses Emacs as his primary editor, and he
says that emacs diff-mode is his preferred method of handling this sort
of thing. I don't know if that means he wishes diff-mode could call out
to shelve, or if he just likes how it handles going between
"unified-diff" and full-text editing. I'm CCing him, so he can give his
experience w/ shelve and emacs.
