TODO: Add two tasks that both have to do with auditing the library API

It was noted today in IRC that libnotmuch is not yet careful about
wrapping all Xapian calls with try/catch blocks to print nicer error
messages. It seems it would be natural to audit that at the same time
as doing the symbol-hiding work.
