If `notmuch-hello-batch-message-count' were re-written to operate as a
display-function, this could be replaced with something like:

	(let* ((elem-plist (notmuch-hello-saved-search-to-plist elem))
	       (result (funcall (or (plist-get elem-plist :display-function)
				    #'notmuch-hello-batch-message-count)
				:current elem-plist
				:option options))
