One could imagine all (or many) of the group commands working on
topics.  (It's trivial to implement -- the commands would just
process-mark all the groups in the topic and execute the proper group
commands on the process-marked groups.)  

Is this desirable?  If you press `u' on a topic, should all groups in
the topic become unsubscribed?  

Anyways, `M-g' on a topic is obviously useful, but it seems to me that
it should work on all groups in the topic, not just the currently
visible ones, shouldn't it?  Which means that `M-g' on the topic would
do something slightly different that just doing `M-g' repeatedly on
all visible groups in the topic...
