My main motivation here is (as you can probably see from the example)
dealing with patches, and in that setting, tagging the whole thread is
is almost never what you want.

That aside, thread tagging is already there in search view, and I guess
could be done by selecting the whole thread and tagging that region.

I haven't really looked at how to apply tags to regions in
notmuch-show-mode. Is there code around that does that? Or more
generally iterate over messages in a region?
