But I think a user needs to enable that explicitly, so one cannot rely
on this feature being available...  And the user has to setup
`gnus-refer-article-method' properly...

|      ;; Keep enough entries to have a good hit rate when referring to an
|      ;; article using the registry.  Use long group names so that Gnus

|      (setq gnus-registry-max-entries 2500
|            gnus-registry-use-long-group-names t)
| 
|      (gnus-registry-initialize)
| 
|      (setq gnus-refer-article-method
|            '(current
|              (nnregistry)
|              (nnweb "gmane" (nnweb-type gmane))))
