Hmmm... I guess you could have Gnus internally know nothing about the
actual article other than the MIME handles. Instead of
XXX-request-article, you would have XXX-request-article-structure, and most
backends would just have a trivial wrapper of (mm-dissect-buffer
(XXX-request-article ...))
Ponder, ponder, ponder.
