Regardless of whether we want immediate expiration, immediate deletion
should work for all backends; Karl's patch doesn't do that.  Are there
any objections to using -request-move-article for deletion in
gnus-summary-delete-article ?  I think that will work for all
backends.

Regarding immediate expiration, is that what
gnus-summary-expire-articles-now is supposed to do?  Or should it
delete as well?
