+\r
+Yes I like your name; before I change it do you (and others) prefer it\r
+to Austin's suggestion of notmuch_thread_count_flags. Or we could even\r
+be more verbose with something like\r
+notmuch_thread_count_messages_with_flags\r

+\r
+The only existing flag is NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_MATCH: that is currently\r
+zero but in the current code that is the bit offset of the flag; in my\r
+version it is the actual bit for the flag (otherwise I think flag masks\r
+end up very ugly). I believe all callers use notmuch_message_set_flag\r
+and notmuch_message_get_flag so they should not notice the difference.\r

+\r
+I will try and document it better: on first reading I parsed your name\r

+\r
+(I assume you mean notmuch_thread_count_messages.) Can I just check this\r
+would return the number of messages which have all the flags in\r
+include_flag_mask and none of the flags in exclude_flag_mask?\r
+\r
+I completely agree about leaving it until we have the API well worked\r
+out. I wrote it in response to Austin's suggestion and then it looked\r
+like it would useful in my attempts to remove the\r
+notmuch_query_set_omit_excluded_messages API. However, those attempts\r
+failed so it doesn't have any users yet.\r
+\r
