Well, the file could be named "notmuch-config-view" and the contents could include comments explaining it is just a view. Besides, the generation of such a file could be opt-in. I hope you don't mind my insistence (it is my personality) and, of course, there is still the problem of slightly increasing Notmuch's complexity to provide a small benefit for relatively few people. It is (obviously) your call, since you understand much more about the Notmuch codebase (and free/libre software development in general) than me. Besides, it is not me who am going to actually implement this (I am unfortunately unable to contribute C code to Notmuch at this moment). Regards -- - - I am Brazilian.
