Thanks.
For the most part, that's what I ended up with, but the thread 'stealing' a
message will be quite hard to implement in Rust, I guess.
When using notmuch_query_search_messages, I was assuming the resulting
individual messages to be owned by the query.
So, if at a later point in time, one uses notmuch_query_search_threads,
will the ownership of a previous message abruptly be
transferred from query to thread?
I do want to be able to run *_destroy at some point :)
