I don't think it is a good idea to mix unmarking with a stack growing
behind the scenes, that's messy. Better to let the user manage this
stack separately. How about `* k', `* y' and `* w', kind of like in
Gnus? That is, if we want the stack after all.

Invert it is, then. If we go with the stack commands, it is also
consistent with that in the Gnus-wannabe way.
