Oh, I get it: so hitting ^ doesn't do anything, but hitting ^ SPC
does trigger the Gnus command bount to ^.
Yes, that makes sense.  We could supposedly improve this to actually
make ^ call the proper Gnus command directly, but the patch doesn't try
to do that.

Good.  I'll install it as soon as I get back to the machine on which
I wrote it ;-)
