Is incremented == true exactly when next == ' ' ? It might be nice to
make that more explicit by setting one based on the other. You could
also use (next == ' ') as your test condition, but I understand that
might not be that obvious to read.

The thing I'm most nervous about here is the interaction between this
new code and the relatively recent code that permits ' ' as a
seperator. Would you mind adding one or more tests for that case? For
example, that I checked that
./notmuch show --format=json --decrypt true $id
continues to work, and that's great, but it seems like something to
check on the argument parsing level, i.e
--keyword␣non-default-value
(pardon my unicode)
