+The arguments are:
+  QUERY: the main query. This can be any query but in many cases will be

+  QUERY-CONTEXT: is an additional term for the query. The query used

+      in which case we fall back to just QUERY.
+  TARGET: A message ID (with the id: prefix) that will be made
+      current if it appears in the pick results.
+  BUFFER-NAME: the name of the buffer to show the pick tree. If
+      it is nil \"*notmuch-pick\" followed by QUERY is used.
