I've been waiting for this for quite some time.

However...

Am I correct in interpreting enter_idle() as effectively just being a 
timer?  It doesn't return any information about any messages that have 
been received during its IDLE state?

I was hoping that it would return a table of newly received messages, so 
that I could then run filters against just those messages, rather than 
searching through the entire mailbox every time.

Am I misinterpreting the command?  If not, is there any plan to add 
support for reporting untagged responses?
