 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_SUCCESS: No error occurred.
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_OUT_OF_MEMORY: Out of memory
 *
 * XXX: We don't really want to expose this lame XAPIAN_EXCEPTION
 * value. Instead we should map to things like DATABASE_LOCKED or
 * whatever.
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_XAPIAN_EXCEPTION: A Xapian exception occurred
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_FILE_ERROR: An error occurred trying to read or
 *	write to a file (this could be file not found, permission
 *	denied, etc.)
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_FILE_NOT_EMAIL: A file was presented that doesn't
 *	appear to be an email message.
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_DUPLICATE_MESSAGE_ID: A file contains a message ID
 *	that is identical to a message already in the database.
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_NULL_POINTER: The user erroneously passed a NULL
 *	pointer to a notmuch function.
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_TAG_TOO_LONG: A tag value is too long (exceeds
 *	NOTMUCH_TAG_MAX)
 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_UNBALANCED_FREEZE_THAW: The notmuch_message_thaw
 *	function has been called more times than notmuch_message_freeze.

 *
 * NOTMUCH_STATUS_LAST_STATUS: Not an actual status value. Just a way

 * guaranteed to have either the full set of original tag value, or
 * the full set of new tag values, but nothing in between.
 *
 * Imagine the example above without freeze/thaw and the operation
 * somehow getting interrupted. This could result in the message being
