notmuch count --batch outputs just numbers separated by newline -- and
with emacs stdout & stderr are in the same stream (in this case too)
For that we'd need structured like notmuch count --batch --format=sexp
and then write errors there...
I don't think we can find SomeOne(tm) to do this -- or the überversion
like 'notmuch execute' which takes sexp/json document in stdin and
spits out sexp/json document for programs to parse ;D
