Makes sense to me. However, the option shouldn't have a name ending in
-p -- that's for predicate functions only. `gnus-registry-register-all'
would be a better name.

I think defaulting it to t makes more sense (besides being more
backwards-compatible) -- the registry isn't on by default, after all.
