Maybe it's most useful for Helm, after all! I see that the default
*Completions* buffer doesn't actually do what Helm does (squeeze the
pop-up buffer between the Summary and Article buffers), so there's no
advantage there. I was hoping that *Help* pop-up buffers would no longer
occupy one of Gnus' windows, but they still do, so that's no better
either.

Maybe the whole option isn't quite worth it...
