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... -- Home is where the cat is.
