iPhone 4.0 adds Gmail archiving to Mail

This isn’t actually a new “feature” as far as I know, but rather a re-labeling of an otherwise confusing feature in 4.0b2 (I don’t see it in b1). Swiping to delete usually does just that, but swiping to delete within the Gmail inbox in the Mail app has been archiving …
