I have a group with a bunch of ticked articles. I'd like to create a
(keyboard) macro that tics all the new unread articles in the group.
That's not hard in itself -- just process-mark the unread articles,
then press `M-& !'.
However, I don't know how to do the "process-mark the unread articles"
bit. I know I can process-mark and tick *all* the articles with
`M P b M-& !', but I'd like to avoid that because it would be quite
slow in a group with several hundred articles.
Any idea how to iterate over unread articles?

Does it work to narrow the buffer to the articles marked with SPC
first?
/ m SPC RET

This helps, thanks. Now I can do the required operation with
something like `/m SPC RET M P b M-& !' optionally followed by `/w' to
pop the process mark set.
But now I've gotten all cocky and would like to make the thing be a
Lisp function rather than a keyboard macro. In that case `/m SPC RET'
is replaced with a simple (gnus-summary-limit-to-marks " "), and `M P
b' with (gnus-uu-mark-buffer). However, I don't know how to emulate
M-& followed by a command.
Is there a way to do what M-& does, but from Lisp, i.e. iterate
through process-marked articles in a way?

But you've forgotten to use Kai's patented `C-u 1000 !' : )

The `gnus-summary-iterate' macro iterates over the process/prefixed
articles and executes a form:
(gnus-summary-iterate arg
(stuff)
(more stuff))
