Unmarking commands in Gnus follow a fairly regular pattern -- if key
"foo" marks, then "M-foo" unmarks. This correspondence is _extremely_
useful, because one uses unmarking commands more rarely than the
corresponding marking command, so a regular naming convention makes it
easy to remember what they're bound to.
However, despite the fact that they are used more rarely, they
certainly are used. Note that unmarking commands are typically used to
correct mistakes, not for large-scale changes, so for "#", being
repeatable is quite important to normal usage; for "M-#", it's not.

Yeah, so what? Another notable non-tragedy.
