Yes, sounds good.
Today I thought of a more generic approach:
pass a query that a message should match.
:notmuch-show-next-message tag:unread		# go to the next unread
message in thread
:notmuch-show-next-message from:"Ian Main" 	# got to the next
message in thread sent by "Ian Main"
...
The user then can map keys to custom commands.

Good or too generic?

Furthermore I thought of rearranging the sources:
- Put files in Vundle/*-compatible dirs, would simplify development.
  (Currently I have several files symlinked from notmuch-src into .vim)
- Put the "heavy" ruby code into its own file. Today I got an error I
  could not deal with because line numbers did not match. Also I read
  about the possibility that the ruby interpreter might optimize only
  seperate files. This could lead to better performance.
