+notmuch count --batch outputs just numbers separated by newline -- and
+with emacs stdout & stderr are in the same stream (in this case too)
+For that we'd need structured like notmuch count --batch --format=3Dsexp
+and then write errors there...
+
+I don't think we can find SomeOne(tm) to do this -- or the =C3=BCberversion
+like 'notmuch execute' which takes sexp/json document in stdin and
+spits out sexp/json document for programs to parse ;D
