I just implemented the following from my todo list, but I have no idea
why:

----------
* gnus-fetch-old-headers `invisible' -- just fetch the headers,
do the threading and then exclude all the fetched headers.
----------

What's this supposed to achieve?

Maybe it should be a primitive to build a command to get the whole
thread?  Looks like it.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.

Proper grouping?

Yes, that makes sense.  A command to rebuild an entire thread could
just bind that variable to `invisible', re-fetch the headers and then
include the articles from the current thread in the limit.

Yup.  That is one of Gnus' most wanted commands.  For one, I'll be
very happy when you implement it.
