What do you think about allowing newlines in `index_format`?

In the index view, I would like to print the subject line on a separate
line from the rest of the metadata (i.e. two text rows per message).

If mutt allowed newlines inside `index_format`, I could do it.  As-is,
newline is replaced with an equals sign.

That would be a very large amount of work to change, with lots of edge cases to consider. Given Mutt's development state, I don't think it's feasible.
