I *like* the extra l syntax.  It's simple and to the point.

I see no reason for an option of that kind if we already have a
selector.  I can even imagine situations when that would be confusing:

        monotone diff --cert=foo:var -r cl:bar=foo

Which should take precedense?

Hmm, it makes sense.  Sure!
