Existing, public-inboxes can be set as "externals" and managed
via {add,forget,ls}-external sub-commands:

        # for locally-cloned inboxes:
        public-inbox-index /path/to/existing/inbox
        lei add-external /path/to/existing/inbox

        # relies on curl, memoizes data downloaded for each search:
        lei add-external https://yhbt.net/lore/git

Local externals will be included by every "lei q" invocation;
HTTP(S) ones require "lei q --remote"

If you only want to use an external as a one-off without adding
it, the -I/--include and -O/--only flags are useful:

  lei q -O https://yhbt.net/lore/git -o /tmp/results SEARCH_TERMS

lei-overview(7) manpage documents some things, at least:
https://public-inbox.org/lei-overview.html  Patches welcome :>

IMHO lei still kinda sucks, and I probably won't have time to
work on it for a bit :<
