I see.  Thanks.  I found gnus-group-expire-articles-1 binds
nnmail-expiry-wait to the expiry-wait group parameter.  However,
Gnus doesn't seem to support the group parameter called
`expiry-wait-function' (yet).  gnus-group-expire-articles-1
simply binds nnmail-expiry-wait-function to nil when expiry-wait
is specified.  (I don't feel such one is very useful, though.)

I see.  So, could it be `_Even if this parameter is not set, ...'?
