Definitely. It never even occurred to me that Fossil wouldn't already do
this --- I believe all the other major VCSes do (although I've never had
to deal with conflicts on git so don't know the workflow there).

Now I know, of course, I'll pay more attention to the messages I get
from "update", but even so I'm sure it's just a matter of time until I
check in a conflicted file. (I would be interested to know if people
have actually done this.)

Apart from anything else, an explicit "resolve" step could also
automatically clean up the extra files created as part of the conflict.
A fairly trivial issue, but dealing with conflicts is irritating at the
best of times and every little helps...
