Another option occured to me that is consistent at least with notmuch
tag and notmuch show would be to support the following transitional
syntaxes
notmuch dump file
notmuch dump file [--] search terms
notmuch dump -- search terms
the first two could then be deprecated, and eventually the syntax
notmuch dump search terms
could be enabled.
the question of whether to support
notmuch dump --file foo.txt
or something like
notmuch --stdout=foo.txt dump
could be dealt with later.
