Hi Jani;

Is just because it add a function to the library that you think this
might be problematic?  I don't think we are super-dogmatic about the
library never growing.  When notmuch started, there were no bindings, so
in retrospect maybe more functionality went into the CLI than might
happen if we started from scratch. If I remember Carl's statement
correctly, one rule is that stuff in the library should not require
configuration.

Just my personal view,

David
