FWIW: as Richard said, it's _technically_ easy, but brings with it both
philosophical and usability concerns. Fossil would need a way of allowing
the user to disambiguate, e.g.:

"possible matches:
1) ...
2) ...
type number to continue..."

and that type of feature would then arguably need to be added to other
commands which deal with branches/tags.

IMO a custom shell-based solution is the proper place for this. If it can
be demonstrated that this is feasible, i'll stop being pessimistic about it
;). i suspect, however, that any attempt at doing so would reveal worms
which haven't yet been mentioned.
