I'm not a fan of the above.

I would greatly prefer that any language bindings for notmuch implement
the same semantics as the underlying functions.

If we should fix Database().add_message to automatically call
maildir_flags_to_tags, then we should also fix
notmuch_database_add_message to do the same thing.

I can't see any good justification for behavior like this to be
different depending on the language being used to access the library.

Please consider changing things to match the semantics of the underlying
library.

Thanks,
