search summary and exclusions

Hi,

Exclusions don't work the way I expected with the search command and
--output=summary.  I would like messages with excluded tags to be
treated as if they don't exist at all, but currently:

  * excluded messages are counted towards the "total"
  * excluded tags are included in the "tags" set

Are these deliberate?  Especially the second point seems to conflict
with search --output=tags, which doesn't show excluded tags.

Peter
