In any event, I'd really love to see something like this. Because I work
remotely, over an ssh tunnel, and it's nice to have various scripts
local. However, things like notmuch_addresses and my recipient_search
script have to run on the server, since they need bindings-level access
to the database. If I could get the JSON you describe over the wire, I
could probably just make one remote call and then confine my local work
to JSON parsing. A niche need, I realize.
