Yes. That's why killed is special; it requires work at threading time to
drop threads in which any message has a killed label, regardless of
whether that's the message that matched the query.

Not sure. Maybe both. :) The philosophy is more about the UI, IMO, than
specific implementation details (though obviosuly there's some
trickle-up).
The other way to implement this, FWIW, is to have labels automatically
spread to all messages in a thread when they're applied. I think that is
probably a better implementation, though it increases the cost at
labeling time. I've been toying with this idea in the sup server code.

I think the above implementation would allow this.
