IMHO, a key philosophical point is that this metadata is +associated with a database, not with the library. + +Having every key map to a distinct file is arguably not as nice for +humans to edit, but it avoids certain concurrency complications; +e.g. glib can atomically write a keyfile (like we use for +.notmuch-config), but that means e.g. the result of two concurrent +updates to different keys is not a valid serialization. + +It won't be very efficient for huge numbers of keys, but for keeping +some static metadata associated with a notmuch database, this should +work ok. + +In addition to needing some polishing (documentation? what +documentation?), this isn't actually used anywhere in notmuch. +
