;; #### FIXME: this function handles self Xref: entry correctly, but I don't
;; #### know how to handle external cross-references. I actually don't know if
;; #### this is handled correctly elsewhere. For instance, what happens if you
;; #### move all articles to a new group (that's what people do for manual
;; #### compaction) ?

;; #### NOTE: the function below handles the article backlog. This is
;; #### conceptually the wrong place to do it because the backend is at a
;; #### lower level. However, this is the only place where we have the needed
;; #### information to do the job. Ideally, this function should not handle
;; #### the backlog by itself, but return a list of moved groups / articles to
;; #### the caller. This will become important to avoid code duplication when
;; #### other backends get a compaction feature. Also, note that invalidating
;; #### the "original article buffer" is already done at an upper level.
