The prefix to the `g' command doesn't affect
`gnus-activate-foreign-newsgroups'.  This is because you might want to
say `3 g' to rescan all native groups on levels 1-3.  But perhaps
there should be a way to do what you want.  But what should the
interface be?  A new command?  Or perhaps `-3 g' should rescan all
groups on level 1, 2 and three, foreign or not?  Or is it totally
counterintuitive to give negative prefixes for something like that?
