This is just nice, thank you Jesper!

I added a pop-limit command just before the actual limit command for
each entry, to be able to switch between them without manually doing
"/w" every time:

,----
| (defvar my-limit-bookmark-alist
|   '(("analytics" . (progn
|                      (gnus-summary-pop-limit)
|                      (gnus-summary-limit-to-author "analytics\\|dads")))
|     ("irf" . (progn 
|                (gnus-summary-pop-limit)
|                (gnus-summary-limit-to-author "rlemus\\|javier g")))
|     ("memoria" . (progn
|                    (gnus-summary-pop-limit)
|                    (gnus-summary-limit-to-author "cecilia\\|garreaud"))))
|   "Alist of limit bookmarks.")
`----

But now when a limit fails, I get blocked trying to switch to another
one with the message "No limit to pop" (yes, because the limit has
already been popped in the last [failed] limit).

How could I force the second command in (progn ...) to be evaluated even
if the first fails? I tried surrounding the first one in a
condition-case construct, for example:

,----
| ("analytics" . (progn
|                    (condition-case nil
|                        (gnus-summary-pop-limit)
|                      (error nil))
|                    (gnus-summary-limit-to-author "analytics\\|dads")))
`----


... but the result is the same. Any insights are appreciated.
