+In retrospect, probably not that great a benefit, except I kindof\r
+dislike the idea of putting the mess that is notmuch-config.c into the\r
+library, so we'd likely have to deal with coming up with a clean config\r
+file mechanism.\r
+\r
+I agree that being able to sync plain text config probably trumps this.\r
