True. See below on that.

I will read into this and get back to it.

No, it happened by intention because what is "original" to you is not
part of my freshly cloned notmuch. So I thought good practise is to
construct *one* patch that brings the already fixed feature to the
notmuch codebase to keep it clean.

If you like better, my next patch will only base Tomis and your
suggestions on top of the "original" patch.
