This allows command line arguments for notmuch-search to be part of
the query-string. The string must be of the form
[:blank:]*--cli-arguments -- query. I hope this doesn't clash with
xapian: I believe that queries shouldn't start with a "-".
Correctly parsed example queries are
--sort=oldest-first -- tag:inbox
--exclude=false -- from:fred
Some options (currently only sort-order) we parse in emacs, the rest
we just pass to the cli. In light testing it seems to work.
A full custom parser would be nicer but at least here we are only parsing
the non-query part of a string which is relatively simple: indeed we
already do that in the c code.
We could just implement the option for sort-order, but I thought for
interface consistency making all the options (sort-order exclude limit
and offset) work was worth the small extra hassle.
---
This is a rather more complete version of the parent patch with a key
bugfix (thanks to Jani): saved searches with cli arguments work,
refreshing a query works correctly, filtering a query works correctly
(and can take extra cli arguments).
It may all be too complex, and it may be too hackish but it does seem to work.
Best wishes
Mark
