It should work AFAIK, but I haven't used it that way for a while.  I
also don't use splitting.

I would have expected the backend+address:group.name format to work
regardless of primary/secondary/foreign status.  If it doesn't, I
think we should fix that.

I guess this won't do anything, since even if "nnmaildir:foo" could be
used as *a* name for the group, it would be the group's canonical
name.

What benefit do you get from making nnmaildir primary?  Maybe there's
another way to get that.
