g runs the command gnus-group-get-new-news

Which is however very inflexible. You see at the moment I'm just
interested in the vegiburger group. Why should I have to barf down all
data on all the other groups I'm subscribed to? I already read them,
and now I just want to see if there's anything new in the vegiburger
group in the last few minutes.

I would like to do "1 g" meaning "just do g on the next 1 groups", but
that ARG is already for something else.

What a lot of trouble just for a quick one-time get on one group.
