If your question is, why does Source#add_messages_from yield what it
does, the answer is because all consumers either need the source labels
(for polling) or need both (for syncing---check out sup-sync for the
gory details). Thread-view-mode and all its decendents (inbox-mode, etc)
all talk directly to the index and don't use that method at all.

Honestly, I don't see a real advantage to retrofitting that class onto
things. It doesn't appeal to my Ruby instincts. :)
