I find that I don't want to know when an article was written.  The
Date header is useless for me.  What I want to know is how long ago
the article was written, so I have `gnus-article-date-lapsed' in
`gnus-article-display-hook'.

The new function keeps the result of this function updated
continually, to let you feel the passage of time, pulling you into the
future.  Endlessly pulling you into the future.

(Oops.  I'm quoting Laurie Anderson songs.  And Anderson was quoting
Fassbinder.  Someone please help.)
