+No problem. It was just an itch I had :-). I have to say that I stopped\r

+JSON will definitely help. I need to investigate that, and --output will\r
+make help performance. So yes, these are good changes from a 3rd party\r
+perspective. I was thinking of interfacing notmuch.so directly but as\r
+long as the python bindings are still in development, I am not going to\r
+look at this option.\r

+\r
+I'll comment on that in JRollins reply in a second :).\r
