Hm.  In what way is this different than the variables you can already
configure in the group parameters?

One thing which would be nice is this: some variables are used in the
summary buffer, others are used in the article buffer, and still
others are used in the message buffers that are created from the
summary buffer.  Could you do stuff that copies the variables over to
all these buffers so that the right thing happens?
