No, it isn't.  If it worked, that would override comp.lang.c.SCORE,
which does exist.

Same problem there.

Drat.

Well, since it's possible to say `M-x gnus-score-change-score-file'
after scoring, I assume it would be possible to put that in a hook
somewhere too.  After summary generation, or something.

Would this work?  Is it worth it?
 1. Before loading a group's score files,
      set `my-score-file' to nil.
 2. When loading a score file,
      set `my-score-file' to that score file *if it exists (or is cached)*.
 3. After loading the files (or after summary generation or something),
      do (if my-score-file
	   (gnus-score-change-score-file my-score-file)).
The actions above would be done via some hooks, of course.

That should always set the score file to the innermost file, since the
innermost file is loaded last.  (Or do I mean the outermost file?  The
score file with the longest name, anyway.)

BTW, #2 above could be replaced with something like
	(eval (setq my-score-file current-score-file))
in every score file, and some hook to autoinsert that in newly created
score files -- maybe find-file-hooks or a score-mode-hook.
