I first started with Ruby fibers, but stumbled upon a bug, and then I
realized I didn't actually need them; in Ruby there is an Enumerable
class, which the Notmuch::Threads class includes, and one of the
methods allows to get only a certain number of items, so regardless of
what happens in the back, I only get a certain number of items at a
time. This is particularly easy thanks to Ruby blocks, but I guess you
can achieve the same in Python somehow.

Each time the cursor changes I check if a certain threshold of items
has been passed, and if so, get one more chunk.

Cheers.
