Uh, oh... For backward compatibility we can't change the old variable

Sure? I thought group names are built like
[a-z][a-z0-9]+(\.[a-z0-9]+)+ or something like that (could not find
the appropriate RFC) which should always give a valid regexp.

Since I'm not going to code this (no lisp, no fun), you're probably
right. Meanwhile I discovered `gnus-group-apropos', which can be
helpful.
Cheers,
