With 60k messages and 12k tagged as sent:

$ time notmuch tag +sent -- from:flo@chaoflow.net

real	0m8.561s
user	0m8.069s
sys	0m0.212s

$ time notmuch tag +sent -- from:flo@chaoflow.net and not tag:sent

real	0m0.043s
user	0m0.036s
sys	0m0.006s


This could be made implicit:

notmuch tag +A +B -- <filter>
=2D->
notmuch tag +A +B -- <filter> and not \(tag:A and tag:B\)

Apply command, if one of the tags is not set.


notmuch tag -C -D -- <filter>
=2D->
notmuch tag -C -D -- <filter> and \(tag:C or tag:D\)

Apply command, if one of the tags is set.


notmuch tag +A +B -C -D -- <filter>
=2D->
notmuch tag +A +B -C -D -- <filter> and \(not tag:A or not tag:B\ or tag:C =
or tag:D\)


In order to enforce tagging and disable the filter there could be a
flag.

I lack the knowledge/time to implement it, but I think it's at least
worth documenting it.
