Would it be possible to add "range" support to a subset of commands by
using a git-range wrapper?

Hypothetical, pie-in-the-sky idea:

	git range HEAD^..HEAD HEAD~10 -- show --pretty=email
	git range HEAD^..HEAD HEAD~10 -- log
	git range HEAD^..HEAD HEAD~10 -- cherry-pick

Which would call the given command for each of the commits found in all
the specified ranges and lists.  git-range could have an internal list
of supported git subcommands that it would massage the parameter lists for.

I find this both elegant and ugly at the same time. :-)
