Thanks, David! (and Sebastian).

I've pushed out this change, (along with a followup that actually
enables this functionality by default), and I absolutely love it
already.

This piece looks totally independent, so I separated it out.

I was going to push it out separately, but I didn't actually find that
it did anything by default. (For me, font-lock-comment-delimiter-face
inherits from font-lock-comment-face with no changes.)

And actually, that makes me realize that we should be defining our own
notmuch face names for all the faces we use. Instead of just using
font-lock (or even message-mode) face names, we should use our own, (but
make them inherit liberally from other modes where that makes sense.

With that, plus changing a bunch of our current defvar calls into
defcustom calls, and I think we'd have a fairly reasonable customize
interface where people could tweak the appearance of notmuch without
having to write any emacs lisp.
