(bringing in the upstream list, as this is really an upstream design
issue)
Currently any unrecognized field:value will be searched for as a phrase
[1], and is equivalent to "field value", field.value, field-value, among
others. So as long as notmuch: is not a recognized prefix, your scheme
will not block any searches.
It doesn't seem especially likely that we'll want to use "notmuch:" as a
prefix; of course if you were to choose something with "mutt" in the
name that would be more nearly a sure thing.
