Right now the thing that makes the most sense to me is:

1. Make a new group parameter that matches the "display" parameter that
   you can set for individual groups. Ie, we'd have a
   `gnus-parameter-display-alist' variable.
2. Allow that parameter to take more than just a number to display: it
   should be a list, and allow pre-set symbols (like 'registry-marked,
   'registry-precious), and maybe functions? I haven't thought it all
   the way through.
3. Consult that parameter when constructing Summary buffers.


How's that sound?

Eric
