Hi Carl,
Unfortunately I knew when I said it that this was a bit of a pipe dream. It
would involve reworking quite a bit of Gnus. So the answer to your question is
"fairly hard". Still that hasn't stopped Lars or Gnus in the past. And this
would actually simplify a whole lot of the code, all groups could be treated
the same without all the conversions and special cases to convert to fully
qualified groups.
