It needn't be a wrapper. Eg, in your muttrc:
`mk-mutt-commands`
and have mk-mutt-commands be a script in $HOME/bin.
I have a few scripts of my own whose whole purpose is merely to emit
commands for somthing else (mutt, fvwm etc). If they have good names it
keeps the incantation in the muttrc or whatever succinct and clear in
purpose.
