The complicated looking escapes are needed to avoid compile time
warnings. (info "(elisp) Text Quoting Style") for details.

Like `cl-lib' and `pcase', which are already available in all
libraries, `subr-x' also provided many useful functions that
we would like to use.
Making `subr-x' available in every library from the get-go means
that we can use the functions it defines without having to double
check every single time, whether the feature is already available
in the current library.

We need to load `cl-lib' at run-time because we use more from it than
just macros. Never-the-less many, but not all libraries required it
only at compile-time, which we got away with because at least some
libraries already required it at run-time as well.
We use `cl-lib' and (currently to a lesser extend) `pcase' throughout
the code-base, which means that we should require these features in
most libraries.
In the past we tried to only require these features in just the
libraries that actually need them, without fully succeeding. We did
not succeed in doing so because that means we would have to check
every time that we use a function from these features whether they
are already being required in the current library.
An alternative would be to add the `require' forms at the top of every
library but that is a bit annoying too.
In order to make sure that these features are loaded when needed but
also to keep the noise down we only require them in "notmuch-lib.el",
which most other libraries require, and in most of the few libraries
that do not do so, namely "notmuch-draft.el", "notmuch-message.el" and
"notmuch-parser.el". ("coolj.el", "make-deps.el", various generated
libraries, and "notmuch-compat.el" are left touched.)

This function had a few issues.
- Neither its name nor the old comment before it is called made it
clear what it does.
- It took one argument but didn't do anything with it.
- It's doc-string made a few claims, which are untrue and generally
focused on details instead of that its purpose is.

Doing so causes many new compile warnings. Some of these warnings
concern genuine changes in behavior that have to be addressed right
away.
Many other warnings are due to unused variables. Nothing has changed
here, except that the byte-compiler can now detect these pre-existing
and harmless issues. We delay addressing these issues so that we can
focus on the important ones here.
A third group of warnings concern arguments that are not actually used
inside the function but which cannot be removed because the functions
signature is dictated by some outside convention. Silencing these
warning is also delayed until subsequent commits.

It is available since Emacs 24.3 and we require at least Emacs 25.
It makes the variable buffer-local if it isn't always buffer-local
anyway.

Also use 'unless' in a few cases where previously 'if' was used with
'not' but without an ELSE part.

Most people who write lots of lisp tend to only sparsely use empty
"separator" lines within forms. In lisp they feel unnecessary and
since most files stick to this convention we get a bit confused
when there are extra empty lines. It feels like the s-expressions
are falling into pieces.
All of this is especially true between a function's doc-string and
body because the doc-string is colored differently, which visually
already separates it quite sufficiently from the code that follows.

Starting with Emacs 27 the old `cl' implementation is finally
considered obsolete. Previously its use was strongly discouraged
at run-time but one was still allowed to use it at compile-time.
For the most part the transition is very simple and boils down to
adding the "cl-" prefix to some symbols. A few replacements do not
follow that simple pattern; e.g. `first' is replaced with `car',
even though the alias `cl-first' exists, because the latter is not
idiomatic emacs-lisp.
In a few cases we start using `pcase-let' or `pcase-lambda' instead
of renaming e.g. `first' to `car'. That way we can remind the reader
of the meaning of the various parts of the data that is being
deconstructed.
An obsolete `lexical-let' and a `lexical-let*' are replaced with their
regular variants `let' and `let*' even though we do not at the same
time enable `lexical-binding' for that file. That is the right thing
to do because it does not actually make a difference in those cases
whether lexical bindings are used or not, and because this should be
enabled in a separate commit.
We need to explicitly depend on the `cl-lib' package because Emacs
24.1 and 24.2 lack that library. When using these releases we end
up using the backport from GNU Elpa.
We need to explicitly require the `pcase' library because
`pcase-dolist' was not autoloaded until Emacs 25.1.

Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.

This provides the same interface as the streaming JSON parser, but
reads S-expressions incrementally. The only difference is that the
`notmuch-sexp-parse-partial-list' helper does not handle interleaved
error messages (since we now have the ability to separate these out at
the invocation level), so it no longer takes an error function and
does not need to do the horrible resynchronization that the JSON
parser had to.
Some implementation improvements have been made over the JSON parser.
This uses a vector instead of a list for the parser data structure,
since this allows faster access to elements (and modern versions of
Emacs handle storage of small vectors efficiently). Private functions
follow the "prefix--name" convention. And the implementation is much
simpler overall because S-expressions are much easier to parse.
