Junio, I'm sorry but you missed the point.
It is not about adding a new feature. It's about keeping compatibility
with maildir. The current version _rejects_ good patches.
But, as it's very easy to move emails from a maildir _or_ have a symlink
which links to "maildir/cur" or whatever, we really should rely on the
content of the files.
