Having "split" terms or equivalently "signed" +-reference terms would
allow more general thread splitting, effectively updating (via a little
journal of additions and deletions) the references data stored in mail
file.
The implementation cost could not be that much higher than only
join/unjoin; a bit more work managing the terms attached to a document
to avoid contradictions.
Both versions probably complicate some peoples syncing solutions.
