Re: Exact article count for nnml groups

[Kai Grossjohann <kai@emptydomain.de>]

It's good stuff.  In addition to the other comments, I have one other
issue:

If I understand correctly, then your code never tries to invoke the
new backend function unless the gnus-count-articles-in-groups variable
allows it.  If the variable allows it, then you look whether the new
function is available.  If so, you call it.  Otherwise, you fall back
to the old backend function.

I'd suggest to do away with the gnus-count-articles-in-groups variable
-- just always try to invoke the new function if available.

If you really want to allow people to turn it off, you could do like
nnml-nov-is-evil and similar variables, which also allow to turn off
backend features.  (Following Kevin's unhappiness with matching on
group names.)
