;;; Commentary:

;; This is a "virtual" backend that allows an arbitrary list of
;; articles to be treated as a Gnus group.  An nnselect group uses an
;; `nnselect-spec' group parameter to specify this list of
;; articles.  `nnselect-spec' is an alist with two keys:
;; `nnselect-function', whose value should be a function that returns
;; the list of articles, and `nnselect-args'.  The function will be
;; applied to the arguments to generate the list of articles.  The
;; return value should be a vector, each element of which should in
;; turn be a vector of three elements: a real prefixed group name, an
;; article number in that group, and an integer score.  The score is
;; not used by nnselect but may be used by other code to help in
;; sorting.  Most functions will just choose a fixed number, such as
;; 100, for this score.

;; For example the search function `gnus-search-run-query' applied to
;; arguments specifying a search query (see "gnus-search.el") can be
;; used to return a list of articles from a search.  Or the function
;; can be the identity and the args a vector of articles.
