Hey, Carl.  I feel like those output options are most useful for
constructing new search strings.  If the prefixes were removed, one
would have to add them back when creating search strings from the
output.  I don't appear to currently be using any of the prefixed output
in scripts, but I have definitely used it to copy and paste threads and
ids for searches.  I guess I sort of think of this output as parallel to
the emacs show-stash-map.

I'm sure I could get used to a change, though.

jamie.
