Currently, notmuch has an address completion mechanism that requires
external command to provide completion candidates. This patch adds a
completion mechanism inspired by https://github.com/tjim/nevermore,
which is implemented in Emacs lisp only.
The core of the new mechanism is the function notmuch-address-harvest
that collects the completion candidates from the notmuch database and
stores them in notmuch-address-completions variable.
notmuch-address-harvest is called on the first entry to message-mode
and runs asychnornously so that the user doesn't have to wait for it
to complete while composing the message. The
notmuch-address-completions variable is used in message-mode as a
source of completion candidates. Currently, there are two ways how the
notmuch-address-completions variable is used.
This patch will need to be improved. I have just performed experiments
on a system with rotating harddisk and the initial address harvesting
takes about a minute (on SSD it's 6 seconds). This basically means that
when writing a first message, address completion does not know about
most completions candidates.
Probably, first invocation of address harvesting should take into
account the initial text and search only for addresses matching this
text. I'll try to implement this later.
