What are opinions on using a maildir for both $spoolfile and
$folder with extended maildir subfolders *and* storing mbox
folders inside?  Does this seem to be a Really Bad Idea or, does
anyone else see an appeal in having a single storage point for
folders?

A little testing has found a configuration like the following to
work.  I'm curious if anyone thinks that problems may arise with
such a setup.

# $spoolfile is a maildir
set spoolfile=~/.maildir
set folder=~/.maildir
# $mbox, $record, and $postponed are to be mbox format
set mbox=+mbox
set record=+sent
set postponed=+drafts

# create mbox
set mbox_type=mbox

# makes folder browser neater
set mask="!^\\.[^.]|^(cur|new|tmp)$"

# these would be maildir folders
mailboxes !
mailboxes =.some-list
mailboxes =.another-list

# these would be mbox folders
fcc-save-hook myfriend =myfriend
save-hook otherstuff =otherstuff
