I think it would be best (and sufficient) to redefine the keys to a
function which removes all marks first (gnus-summary-mark-article nil
? ) (or do you have to write `?\ ' rather than `? '?), then calls the
normal move function.

Hm.  We want the unmarking to happen for the next N articles, or the
process-marked articles.  And we don't want the process-mark to be
removed.  Hm.  How is this done?
