51 I've started to look at the elisp, and wondered why
\r
52 notmuch-search-result-format expected strings rather than symbols for
\r
53 the field names, i.e.:
\r
57 ("authors" . "%-20s ")
\r
65 (authors . "%-20s ")
\r
69 Perhaps there's a good argument for strings, but if not, the latter is
\r
70 more idiomatic, and a bit more efficient too (comparisons will just be
\r
71 pointer compares (via assq) rather than something like a strcmp (assoc)).
\r
73 In any case, I imagine this might not be something you'd want to change
\r
74 at this point -- I'm just trying to make sure I understand the current
\r
80 rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org
