gnus-cite-prefix-regexp is the relevant one (the others match
supercite attribution lines rather than body citation).  With two
small additional changes (append space when inserting and use \w
rather than . (as per Vladimir)) this appears to work satisfactorily
for both supercite and `normal' citation prefixes.

I've done that and added (require 'message) to gnus-cite.el - is there
a better way to do this ?  I'll post a diff after some more testing.

The documentation also changes slightly.
