Is there a reason why functions like gnus-group-list-groups and
gnus-group-insert-group-line intern the group names in the default
obarray instead of using one of the gnus hash tables?  After I quit
gnus, the primary obarray has lots of entries that are obviously group
names, though not all of the group names are included there.

Lots of gnus menu entry strings clutter the obarray too, and I have
menus disabled using menu-bar-mode in my .emacs file.
