I will probably move the uid option outside of the options table and
into the C code; it caused enough problems already, it was a mistake
leaving it there anyway...

I originally thought of it as not so useful, or too low-level to go into
the user interface functions, and there was always ifcore.expunge() for
those reading the source.  Will see...

I don't know how difficult this would be... I wanted to look into the
IDLE extension but had other priorities when I had a bit of a time to
hack imapfilter.  You're welcome to send a patch, but I can't promise it
will go into the immediate 2.0.x (mostly bug-fix) releases, unless the
solution is so small and simple...
