Hi Paul,

That wouldn't be the aim.  The aim would be for the existing users to
have a code base that allowed more rapid, stable development of new
features, deprecating old warts, and improving consistency.

For example, whilst I like the Unix idiom of one command to do one thing
well, I do find myself doing a series of picks, marks, and scans to
whittle down emails whereas having a consistent, planned, notation that
can be used wherever a message number can be given would lessen the
iterations a lot.  `seq=-3' is nice, but I can't do `seq:-3:2', for
example.  And overall it's warty, so warty no one replied to my
