Though the idea and syntax originate with mutt (as far as I know, at
least), the general idea is not mutt-specific, or even mail-specific.
The idea occured to me because I was writing a (non-mail-related)
curses-based interface to a database, and needed functionality similar
to mutt's Limits.  This my initial MuttStylePatterns name.  The mutt
docs simply call them "patterns", but that's much too generic a name for
this module, I think.

Thanks for the comment!
