Hm...  well, an article may have many mutually exclusive readedness
states -- unread, read, ticked, dormant, so ideally "removing it" would
mean restoring the previous state, I guess?

So it's not as simple with these commands, I think, and might be pretty
confusing.

Somebody said there was a user option to control that in Dired, but I
haven't actually looked.  :-)
