Subject: Obscure bug with .newsrc

If gnus-save-newsrc-file is set to nil, and activate (gnus-group-restart)
function, it seems to erase groups from the group buffer. I did this
accidentally today when I typed R when I forgot my focus was on the Emac X
window. At first I thought it just decided to hide them by switching
displayed levels on me, but L did not produce my missing newsgroups. In
gnus.el the function (gnus-group-restart)
(defun gnus-group-restart (&optional arg)
"Force Gnus to read the .newsrc file."
(interactive "P")
(gnus-save-newsrc-file)
(gnus-setup-news 'force)
(gnus-group-list-groups arg))
Should a check be made before asking gnus-setup-news via 'force? Or maybe
bugging out as soon as we know we're not supposed to read the newsrc file.
It's a matter of capibility and second guessing the user's intentions.
