Thinking about loud... What if the sub-commands which accept potentially
long argument lists (most of them?) sprouted a '--stdin' option, which
caused them to read the (remaining) argument list from stdin rather than
looking at argv? It seems that this would be simpler change than full
daemon support.

So:
        notmuch show id:foo@bar.baz
could become:
	echo id:foo@bar.baz | notmuch show --stdin

dme.
