+\r
+Hmm, so would notmuch try to guess whether or not it's dealing with a\r
+maildir++ tree, and if so convert folder:foo to a search of .foo, and/or\r
+folder:foo/bar to .foo.bar?  Or would the user just need to know to say\r
+folder:.foo and folder:.foo.bar?\r
+\r
+And if we're only planning special treatment for for maildir-like\r
+stores, then I wonder if the term should just be maildir:?\r
+\r
+Though folder: would make more sense if the long-term goal was to have a\r
+"DTRT" term.  But in that case, I wonder if it might eventually be\r
+expected to support mixed trees, i.e. say a tree containing maildir++\r
+and mh subdirs, and if so, how that should be handled.\r
