Oh, and in part, the reason why I suspect anchored might be a better
default is that it's more conservative.

For example, someone who mistakenly assumes that folder: is anchored by
default doesn't do any unexpected damage with something like this:

  $ notmuch tag +deleted folder:misc
  $ notmuch search tag:deleted ... | xargs rm

FWIW
