These limit commands are nice. But they can be nicer.
What about using the default value from current article? E.g. I
maybe reading my mails and found I need to look for other mails
From this sender. Thus I type /a, and I need to enter his name
--- why don't we use a default value taken from the current
article, thus I simply need to /a RET.
Other commands could use this too, e.g. /t defaults to show
articles older than this one, /s defaults to show articles with
the same title as the current one.
Is this already available? Or, did I miss something in the
manual?

Good idea. I've now added this to Ma Gnus.

I'm not sure `/ s' sounds as useful... And I'm not sure I see the use
case for a default `/ t' value either.

Thanks, I'll try them out.

Yeah, they doesn't look as useful. If it were me, I'd add them
anyway. It's a form of consistency in user interface.
