Sounds cool. Thanks! (Will test and merge later.)

There seems to be a compulsion on the part of some patch submitters to
not change the status quo of the interface. Let's stop doing that
please. Almost all new features that are proposed are strict
improvements, and as such they should be enabled by default, (and
perhaps even unconditional in some cases).

I really want to avoid the situation of "Oh, default notmuch-emacs is a
piece of junk---but if you tune a dozen knobs in the configuration, then
it starts to work well".

So lets start turning more improvements on by default.

Thanks,

-Carl
