Good idea.

Couldn't be more right: I was merely doing a `C-x C-e' in front of the
defvar. Now it works flawlessly. Thanks again!

If anyone feels like trying this, here it is what I'm using now:

,----
| (defvar my-limit-bookmark-alist
|   '(("job" . (gnus-summary-limit-to-author "jobdomain.com"))
|     ("thesis" . (gnus-summary-limit-to-author "someteacher")))
|   "Alist of limit bookmarks.")
| 
| (defun my-limit-bookmark (limit)
|   "Apply a limit in `my-limit-bookmark-alist'."
|   (interactive
|    (list (completing-read "Bookmark: " my-limit-bookmark-alist)))
|   (condition-case nil
|       (gnus-summary-pop-limit)
|     (error nil))
|   (eval (cdr (assoc limit my-limit-bookmark-alist))))
| 
| (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "/q" 'my-limit-bookmark)
