I think it would have the union of terms (tags, words, prefixed terms
from e.g. subject) in messages in the thread to allow
"thread:{foo AND bar}" to be done fast. At one point Olly convinced me
that it would be feasible to delete the terms in a sensible way (i.e. to
simulate reference counting) when a message is deleted, but I'm hazy on
the details at this point. dates might be especially tricky.
