I'm using a very recent cvs of Gnus v5.9.0.

What is the recommended way to alter the names of newsgroups as they
appear in the group buffer?

For example, I'd like `gmane.emacs.gnus.general' to appear in the group
buffer as `gmane.gnus'.

I have previously done via elisp within one of the gnus-group hooks, but
I'm wondering whether there's a more formal mechanism in place to
accomplish this.

Thanks in advance.
