Lars, you don't get me.  That's exactly what I complain about:

  gmane.foo:   foo=lala,  bar=zot, gcc-self
  gmane.emacs: foo=emacs, bar=zot, no gcc-self

While the bar-setting in the "gmane" clause also accounts for its value
in gmane.emacs, the gcc-self setting doesn't.  This difference between
group parameters vs. group local variables is my concern.
