Yeah.  `gnus-agent-expire' doesn't really work properly, which is why
it isn't documented.  I need to have it work from the history file
instead of what it's doing now.

Yes...  but there are some elements (like "thread" and "body") that
can't be used in Agent score files.  Hm.  Perhaps the scoring code
could just ignore those elements while downloading.

There needs to be a way to control whether Gnus should use the normal
scoring files or the Agent score files when deciding what to download,
though.
