What I'd like to do with this and also bug #28856 (regarding
gnus-last-element) is to leave the function definitions in place,
obsolete them, and remove all the calls. 

I alerted one third-party package that was using gnus-last-element to
the impending change, and haven't found any others, but it seems like
obsoleting the functions is still safer.

I'll do that tomorrow, unless anyone objects.
