If you use hcache, the ~i pattern match will be just a hash-table
lookup, which should be constant time no matter the number of
messages.

Of course not - it's a *pipe*. :)
In the example:
cat foo | somecommand
somecommand has no way of ever discovering what or where foo is.
That's a feature, not a flaw.

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion.
Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom
they consider God-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less
easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
