Oh, I had forgotten about those...  They are really totally
unnecessary -- Gnus knows the position of all articles in the summary
buffer.  The `text-property-any' stuff was an emergency solution
because I got tired of fiddling with the thread stuff.

I'll take a new look at that code.

The summary buffer keeps the positions of all articles in the
`gnus-newsgroup-data' alist.
