 buffer, not the *Group* buffer

This should be the default:
(define-key gnus-article-mode-map [?q] 'gnus-summary-expand-window)

Compare mutt etc. all other such programs.

You see after the user hits
"h runs the command gnus-summary-select-article-buffer"
he is now totally in "Article level mindset" so "q" should take him up
one level, not two.

Yes, he could just hit "=" but his mind does not think that way.

(There should be a two letter command for users who really want to exit
two levels.)

The `q' keystroke has always worked this way, so I think it's too late
to change that.
