Compare :

+    print $notmuch $A_action.$TAGPREFIX.$pair->{tag}, " -- ",
+      'id:'.$pair->{id};

vs.

+    print $notmuch $D_action.$TAGPREFIX.$pair->{tag},
+      'id:'.$pair->{id};

I obviously did not test that version very well.

Sure, the "At the moment" is meant to modify "relies". In the next
patch, we stop relying on this feature of Perl.

right. that's what I meant by "is a documented feature of perl's system
function"

So I think we mean to say the same thing here; but I could I add a
comment in this patch (to delete it in the next). Or maybe reword that
commit message somehow.
