Many times when customizing things for Gnus I have a pattern to match
groups, but it's never entirely clear to me against what the pattern
will be matched. Will it be <method>+<server>:<group>, or simply
<group>? Is the answer different depending on whether <method> is a
primary or secondary select method? A general policy should be spelled
out in the manual, and IMO you should consider adding cross-references
each time group names or group name regexps come up.
Thanks
