I've had a look at the code, and if you have (display . [ticked]), then
it basically selects all the articles, and then narrows to the articles
that match the predicate.  If it's a number, it just fetches that number
of articles.

So it's possible to special-case, say, (40 ticked) to just select the
last 40, plus the ticked articles, but it means adding new special rules
for this situation, and I'm not sure the functionality is compelling
enough.
