+\r
+I don't get it. The perl script isn't using any library bindings,\r
+mainly because there are no libnotmuch bindings for perl. *But* it\r
+does call the notmuch binary which is worse:\r
+\r
+* incredibly high overhead (fork&exec) compared to a simple function\r
+  call (plus maybe some kind of ffi)\r
+* manual and error prone serialization of ''function arguments''\r
+* manual and error prone deserialization of ''return values''\r
+* very limited error reporting and handling capabilities\r
+* any kind of resource (think handle to a xapian database) is lost if\r
+  the process exists resulting in further overhead if the binary is\r
+  called multiple times\r
+\r
+I do get the feeling that it is perceived as desirable not to require\r
+any kind of notmuch bindings (David once said something similar about\r
+nmbug).\r
+\r
+If that's the case I'd love to hear why and if there's anything we can\r
+do about it.\r
