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