Moreover, what happens if the user types in a search by hand and then
wishes to make it a saved search? Determining the best/right way to
insert it into the considerably more complex `notmuch-saved-searches'
structure sounds hard.

If this data structure were only ever manipulated by editing .emacs then
I'd have no problem. Currently that's not the case.
