You're wrong there.  From C-h v nnmail-split-methods:
,----
| The second element can also be a function.  In that case, it will be
| called narrowed to the headers with the first element of the rule as
| the argument.  It should return a non-nil value if it thinks that the
| mail belongs in that group.
`----

I've tested this, and the function is called as specified.

Maybe I should, but can functions called from fancy splitting easily
access the whole article?  It seems I would want to use (: FUNCTION),
but according to the documentation, this function will be called "in the
buffer containing the message headers".

I see that spam-stat-split-fancy uses gnus-original-article-buffer.
Does nnmail-split-fancy perhaps store the article in this buffer when
splitting?  I'll have to investigate that.

My nnmail-split-methods is about 100 lines long, and uses a few home
grown hacks in addition, so I don't want to do the big job of converting
unless I'm pretty sure something will be gained by it :)
