Thanks for pointing it out.  However, I overlooked that nnkiboze.el,
nnslashdot.el, nnultimate.el, and nnwfm.el don't have their own
nn*-nov-is-evil.  So, maybe we should introduce them and mention
in the `Back End Interface' Info section that every back end should
provide it.  Otherwise, what we should do may be to maintain those
back ends so as to always work well with NOV.  I vote to the later.
