Well, I normally would agree, but from my own experience even our
developers didn't follow this convention. They initially wrote
"revision 123", so it's obviously not the most natural syntax. After I
told them to use "r123" some of them started using that, but still not
everyone.

Also, not only developers are using Trac. Well, maybe the bug
reporters at teo are all developers and everyone knows the syntax, but
in other projects there are a lot of non-developers. They sometimes
report something like "I found a bug in revision 123 and it didn't
exist in revision 122."

I just want to make the syntax natural for everyone. Otherwise some
people will use the plugin and others won't. You will never have
consistent behavior anywhere.

Well, anyway, I think the plugin requires to use a space after "rev",
but we have lots of "rev123" references, so it would be nice if that
could be recognized, too. Thanks!
