Hi Mark -
This is my first look at any version of the series; apologies if I'm
clueless about some details... Please find some comments below.
BR,

Is the purpose of this function to get the count of messages that have
certain flags set, certain flags not set, and certain flags don't-care?
At the very least, I think the documentation of the function should be
greatly improved.
I think the name of the function should be notmuch_thread_count_messages
which is like notmuch_query_count_messages, but for messages in threads
(and with some extra restrictions).

How are these used by the current lib users at the moment? How will they
break with this change?
Please align the assignments.

The first impression of using a set of flags as index is that there's a
bug. But this is to keep count of messages with certain flag sets rather
than total for each flag, right? I think this needs more comments, more
documentation. Already naming the field flag_set_message_counts or
similar would help greatly.

I wonder if the same could be accomplished by using two flag mask
parameters, include_flag_mask and exclude_flag_mask. I'm thinking of the
usage, would it be easier to use:
notmuch_query_count_messages (thread, NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_MATCH, NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_EXCLUDED);
to get number of messages that have MATCH but not EXCLUDED? 0 as
include_flag_mask could still be special for "all", and you could use:
notmuch_query_count_messages (thread, 0, NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_EXCLUDED);
Note the name change according to my earlier suggestion. It might be
wise to not export the function before the API is chrystal clear if
there is no pressing need to do so.
