Commands to hide and in particular show all topics could be useful.

It would also be nice if commands that determine the visibility of
groups would become topics aware.  I just wanted to show all
unsubscribed and empty groups in a particular topic.  The "obvious"
way of moving point to that topic and pressing `L' didn't work.

Which reminds me:  Perhaps the visibility command (`L', `l', `A M', `A
m', ...) should be moved/copied to a `/' prefix to be consistent with
the summary buffer.

I'd also like to see subtopics dispalyed above groups, rather than below
them... I took a look at the code and this wouldn't be too hard to do... which
probably means I should just write a patch...

'5 L' works... i think, if you're unsubscribed groups are at level 5.

There should probably be a method to control where sub-topics should
be listed.  One should be able to intersperse subtopics and groups in
a random fashion.  I've added this to the Red Gnus todo list.

"C-u space" shows all groups in a topic.

I've now added that to the Red Gnus todo list.

The `A' map has all the various "list" commands.  Listing parts of the
groups is conceptually close to limiting articles in the summary
buffer, but I don't think we should move (or copy) those commands over
to a `/' map.
