`..` is shorthand for `root()..visible_head()`, for example. We don't seem to explain that anywhere. I hope mentioning that will help readers understand the relationship between the shorthands and the full `x..y`, and also to see the correspondence between `..` and `::` (in how their default left and right operands are the same).

There's been a lot of questions about the subtle differences between `..` and `::`. I hope these examples will help with that. We should also add examples to the revset functions (e.g. `heads()` is not obvious how it works), but that can come later.

We could add "Never includes revisions in x", or something to this effect.

Perhaps we should turn this into a table?
