That would require redoing the interface Gnus uses to talk to the
backends, which I don't think is worth doing.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if the backends just
pretended that the name of the groups was «"group name"» instead of
«group name» (that is, slapped quote marks around the names before
giving them to Gnus). Gnus uses `read' to read in the group names,
most of the time. I think. Perhaps. Possibly.
