Yes... I can't quite see how this has ever worked? In general, it's
impossible to distinguish between a parameter not being present and the
parameter being nil, I think?
So the "use all the articles" value has to be something other than nil
for this to work. Perhaps t?
Or am I misunderstanding something here, and this really does work for
somebody?
