Being able to select more than a single group at a time, and thus to
get new headers for more than a single group at a time (among other
operations), without getting headers for all, is a fairly heavily
requested feature.  Charles says it's going to require a bit of serious
coding to do it, however, so at first he was reluctant.  However, enough
folks added their vote to the same multi-group-select bug that it's now
definitely on the list for 1.1, says Charles.  (As I've said frequently
lately, we are in very deep feature freeze right now until after the
release of 1.0 stable, which should be any time and was expected before
now but there were some tough bugs that showed up to be fixed, first.)
