Gah, I still can't figure this out. Whatever changed changed in late
January, and I went through the git logs, reverting a couple of commits
and testing, and I can't find anything that seems to be responsible.

I wasn't able to advise setq to see what was re-setting
nnimap-split-fancy, because defadvice itself uses setqs, and that
created loops.

I tried using Malcolm's back-quote suggestion, but that doesn't seem to
work either. In my gnus.el I changed things to look like:

(require 'bbdb-gnus)
(setq my-nnimap-split-fancy `(|
			   ,@(bbdb/gnus-nnimap-folder-list-from-bbdb)
                           ; other splits
			   (: gnus-group-split-fancy nil t nil)
			   "INBOX"))

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      `(
	(nnimap "one" 
		(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
		(nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)
		(nnimap-split-methods ,my-nnimap-split-fancy))
	(nnimap "two"
		(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
		(nnimap-split-methods nnmail-split-fancy)
		(nnimap-split-methods ,my-nnimap-split-fancy))
	; more similar accounts
))

When I start gnus, first of all it hangs. I hit C-g to get out of the
hang and it starts up as normal. But still, nothing splits correctly,
everything still goes to the nnmail-split-fancy default of "mail.misc".

I don't know what to do!
