A nice feature.

Some notes:

At the end of 0.3 I went through and removed "hello" from all variables
exported through the customize interface. Instead we're just letting
this be the "notmuch" view in the most user-facing documentation.

(Then we can clarify other variables that affect search results or when
showing threads.)

But "Tag Width" isn't quite enough to make this variable's meaning clear
either. We do display tags at other places---in search and thread views,
for example. And this also affects the width of the "saved search"
items. So I don't have a concrete suggestion for a new name yet.

The first sentence of the documentation could be something like:

"Controls the number of columns for saved searches/tags in notmuch view."

Or something like that. The remainder of the documentation is nicely
detailed. Thank you.
