Yes.

Ah, it's because of nnoo. Hm. If nnoo grokked class names, then
maybe the message in nnml-retrieve-headers could print the class name
rather than a fixed string.
But maybe this is not worth the bother.
I like the idea of nnoo-ing stuff like the backends, but maybe the
implementation is a bit flawed. Does EIEIO provide for `proper' OO in
Emacs Lisp? If this ever becomes part of Emacs, Gnus could switch to
it. Hm. (I was really amazed at how fast Lars was able to cook this
up, though.)
