/// slightly different quoting rules.
///
/// **notmuch rejects almost nothing.** `from:((((` parses cleanly and matches
/// zero, so a malformed query produces an empty result rather than an error
/// the user could act on. Correctness here cannot be checked by asking notmuch;
/// it is checked against the constructed string.

/// than a search, and the query bar is an editable line the user has to be
/// able to read.

///
/// Whitespace and newlines collapse to single spaces, embedded quotes are

/// test for empty to decide whether to offer a menu entry at all.
