Coming back to this issue, I was wondering if someone could give me some
advice concerning the notmuch-after-tag-hook (I've tried to find answers
in the docs but I failed). 

What I need to know is if, as with pre and post-new, I can write such
hooks in any language (bash would be my choice at the moment) or they
are limited to lisp? In the case I can use bash, how would I access to
'tag-changes' and 'query'?

Also, where should I place my hook once written? 

Thanks for your patience.
