Thanks, that matches what I suspected, and makes me more confident that
my patch is doing the right thing.  In particular, the car should come
before the cdr.  But someone who knows the Gnus internals should check.
In particular, for an empty group, the "low" value will be 1 while the
"high" value will be 0.
