It's not the choice of LANG, but rather the acceptability of crashing
with an unhandled exception.

The downside is that it introduces another error condition into the
script. The data from notmuch is unicode; conversion to most non-utf8
locales is lossy and can cause crashes. That's why I don't like the
idea of enabling it without some explicit option or configuration
choice.
