TODO: Add some tasks, delete some tasks.

A new item from IRC discussion, (speeding up "notmuch restore"), as
well as a bug I just hit myself, (content from citations is not being
indexed).

While here, notce that several items have recently been completed ('?'
now displays documentation, not function names; we have a search
binding from notmush-show-mode; and "notmuch new" responds to SIGINT
by flushing). Finally, the item regarding optimizing chunky searching
is irrelevant since we dropped chunky searching in favor of the much
better streamed searching.

Index content from citations, please.
Provide a sane syntax for date ranges. First, we don't want to require
both endpoints to be specified. For example it would be nice to be
able to say things like "since:2009-01-1" or "until:2009-01-1" and
have the other enpoint be implicit. Second we'de like to support
have the other enpoint be implicit. Second we'd like to support
relative specifications of time such as "since:'2 months ago'". To do
any of this we're probably going to need to break down an write our
own parser for the query string rather than using Xapian's QueryParser

Think about optimizing chunked searches (max-threads > 0) to avoid
repeating work. That would be saving state from the previous chunk and
reusing it if the next search is the next chunk with the same search
string.
