+    #   +Range+ elements which begin and end with negative integers are encoded
+    #   for use with +PARTIAL+--any other ranges are converted to SequenceSet.
+    #   Unlike +criteria+, other return option arguments are not automatically
+    #   converted to SequenceSet.
+    #
+    # [When +criteria+ is an Array]
+    #   When the array begins with <tt>"RETURN"</tt> (case insensitive), the
+    #   second array element is translated like the +return+ parameter (as

+    #
+    #   Every other member is a +SEARCH+ command argument:
+    #   [SequenceSet]
+    #     Encoded as an \IMAP +sequence-set+ with SequenceSet#valid_string.
+    #   [Set, Range, <tt>-1</tt>, +:*+, responds to +#to_sequence_set+]
+    #     Converted to SequenceSet for validation and encoding.

+    #     When every element in a nested array is one of the above types, a
+    #     positive +Integer+, a sequence-set formatted +String+, or a deeply
+    #     nested +Array+ of these same types, the array will be converted to
+    #     SequenceSet for validation and encoding.
+    #   [Any other nested +Array+]
+    #     Otherwise, a nested array is encoded as a parenthesized list, to
+    #     combine multiple search keys (e.g., for use with +OR+ and +NOT+).
+    #   [+String+]
+    #     Sent verbatim when it is a valid \IMAP +atom+, and encoded as an \IMAP
+    #     +quoted+ or +literal+ string otherwise.  Every standard search key
+    #     name is a valid \IMAP +atom+ and every standard search key string
+    #     argument is an +astring+ which may be encoded as +atom+, +quoted+, or
+    #     +literal+.
+    #
+    #     *Note:* <tt>*</tt> is not a valid \IMAP +atom+ character.  Any string
