How about extending the fileset syntax?
$ hg log/annotate 'set:FILE:linerange(FROMLINE-TOLINE)'
# ':' attr-name '(' args ')'
We could have a shorthand operator ('%' just for example):
$ hg log/annotate set:FILE%FROMLINE-TOLINE
This might look crazy, and I think it's actually crazy, but it could be
extended for log --follow (issue4959):
$ hg log --follow 'set:FILE:rev(REV)'
