I don't understand what you mean here. Can you elaborate?
notmuch dump <search-terms>
is not a transitional syntax, but rather a new syntax that breaks
existing scripts.
The advantage of using -- here is that it allows things like
notmuch dump --format=something-better -- --output
to search for --output (of course the query is then parsed a bit
surprisingly, but this is a different issue.)
