Can this be set such that the value references the key?

Ie, if the key were eg ^.+\(foo.bar@baz.???\)$ I'd like to make
the value expand out to whatever was matched w/in the \(\) pair.

Else I'll need to turd up my .newsrc.eld with lots of to-list
parameter entries. :(

I've not been able to track down exactly where the alist get's
used by the code -- I don't see any reference to it in the .el
files -- so there must be some pattern-matching there....

I'm not sure, but the example near the end of
<info://gnus/Group+Parameters> suggests that it's possible if you use
`gnus-parameters'.

The trick is in the macro `gnus-define-group-parameter'.

I found that same info the other day and gave it a try.  Worked perfectly.

But thanks for the reply!
