I don't. In the @{} spec, HEAD is implicit. My initial itch was that
HEAD is not implicit in the ~<n> spec, and started off by thinking how
we could make HEAD implicit specifically for that case [1]. Since
then, we've realized that it's probably easier (and more useful) to
have a synonym for HEAD that works in all specs. As a side effect,
master..@ will work too. I was looking into the repercussions of
this, and noticed that Michael's @ symref is not equivalent to my H
symref. I previously thought that all symrefs would behave in exactly
the same manner, but @ clearly seems to be a special case: I was
merely pointing this out with an example.
