Define gnus-split-methods to list the choices by priority and use the
first choice as default.

Is there wa way to let the initial completions buffer contain the
matched choices and let the user complete these, but still allow the
user to switch (in an intuitive way) to normal filename completion?

Maybe let the "default" completions start with "*", for example..?
