That would definitely be a possibility, but I think *all* the movement
commands should only go to the "picked" articles, not just
`next-unread'.  Which is something that requires kludges throughout
the code, which is something I don't like to do...  

Anyways, I think the pick-and-read interface is only of interest to
hardened nn users, so I don't really feel like putting in much work on
it.  :-)  At least not at the moment.

That's also a definite possibility, although I think people prefer
hitting `SPC' to hitting `,'...
