I wonder if `lei edit-search --all' could be a thing...
As would adding gitconfig output to ls-search
(`lei ls-search -l -f gitconfig').
Maybe `lei edit-search --all=lei.q' could cut down
on non-interesting fields when editing all searches.
I also wouldn't be opposed to supporting non-interactive use
for automation:
lei edit-search --set lei.q=foo OUTPUT
lei edit-search --add lei.q=foo OUTPUT
...but maybe it's not needed (see below on `lei q'):

Any particular reason for toml? I don't have a toml parser
installed and I suspect many don't, either. git-config is
widely available and installed, of course. I've been trying
hard to avoid data format and dependency proliferation.

Sidenote: I think `query' or similar is more appropriate than
using `lei' in a public newsgroup name since it's not `local' :>

Rerunning `lei q' on existing destinations is fine for updating
existing queries. This is especially nice with `-f v2', since
dedupe is faster on v2 than any other output format.
Thus there's no need to even bother with `lei edit-search' if
you're doing this non-interactively with your own files/formats
(e.g. via web UI or something).

Perhaps `lei q --limit=1' could be appropriate for validating queries
with the below fix. But validating searches can ahead of time is
a TOCTOU problem. There can be added support for per-inbox prefixes
(e.g. altid with gmane: on public-inbox.org/git), and also when mixing
old/new versions via different HTTP(S) externals.

Subject: [PATCH] lei q: set exit code for invalid Xapian queries
Xapian can't parse every query, so ensure we set the
exit code for the client.
