First of all, I meant to type "expire" instead of "expunge" (I have been
in the IMAP world a lot lately).
As for why I don't like "delete" in the function name, most (all?) of
the other 'delete' functions simply put a mark on the article and don't
actually get rid of it. The removal itself is handled later on via
expiry. Since `gnus-summary-delete-article' does actual expiry, I think
that it would be more clear if "expire" appeared in the function name.
Of course, this proposed `gnus-summary-expire-article' function would
have to simply be an aliaas for `gnus-summary-delete-article', so as not
to break existing code.
