Even that won't help you:
modify file1, commit
modify file2, commit
modify file3, commit
Even if no one else made a commit, those three files now have three
different revisions.
So: how can you tell from CfM or SubWCRev that this is *not* what you
call a mixed wc?
Similarly, you can do an 'update to revision' for each of those files,
and use e.g. r9 (the rev after the file2 commit). Then all files have
revision 9, but file 3 has modifications in the repository.

Yes, only the range of the listed files. But that range doesn't really
tell you anything.
It doesn't indicate whether there might be changes in the repository,
it doesn't indicate whether you should update, it doesn't indicate
that your working copy might have mixed revision (due to 'update to
rev' commands).
