The actual rule is that a ! as the leading character of the path
disables the extension. So a user could use:
keyword = !C:\mywork\extensions\keyword.py
This disables the extension, but keeps the path there for
informational purposes.
Yes, this was clunky. I've changed all those lines in the default
Mercurial.ini to be commented out instead of using the '!'.

I think I'll do that.
