I've been working on a patch to do this. You can see the current state
at http://github.com/rlane/sup/tree/personal/. It's still buggy and
needs to be cleaned up a lot before I submit it. The basic idea is that
ThreadSet becomes tightly coupled to the Index and stays in sync with
it. This lets us use the index to determine whether a message is
relevant to a query, which was the main cause of magic previously. It
also makes ThreadIndexMode much simpler in general resulting in a net
code reduction.
