If total-expire is on, articles marked as read are expirable.

I'm unsure about the difference between

  (1) turning on total-expire then marking articles as "!" or "?"
      depending on whether they should be hidden or displayed, and
  (2) using auto-expire or explicitly marking articles as expirable
      and marking articles "!" or "r" depending on whether they should
      be hidden or displayed.

Can anybody shed some light on that?

I suspect that M-x gnus-group-expire-all-groups RET is faster in case
(1).  But what else is different?
