extensions: add unwrapfunction to undo wrapfunction Before this patch, we don't have a safe way to undo a wrapfunction because other extensions may wrap the same function and calling setattr will undo them accidentally. This patch adds an "unwrapfunction" to address the issue. It removes the wrapper from the wrapper chain, and re-wraps everything, which is not the most efficient but short and easy to understand. We can revisit the code if we have perf issues with long chains. The "undo" feature is useful in cases like wrapping a function just in a scope. Like, having a "select" command to interactively (using arrow keys) select content from some output (ex. smartlog). It could wrap "ui.label" to extract interesting texts just in the "select" command.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
