It does?

`/ v'
     Limit the summary buffer to articles that have a score at or above
     some score (`gnus-summary-limit-to-score').

vs.

`/ *'
     Display all cached articles (`gnus-summary-limit-include-cached').

I thought the difference here would be self-evident.

It does for me.  When doesn't it?
