In fact, I realized that I could do this pretty easily by switching to `nnmail-split-fancy' (which seems faster than nnmail-split-methods). However, the function nnmail-split-methods does not allow null lists. For fancy splitting, it will post to the group list ("bogus"), and for non-fancy splitting, it will just post to the last method (whether the test matches or not). By nature, I am a dangerous person. If I want to shoot myself in the foot, I want Gnus to help me do it (or at least let me set a variable to allow me to do it). I am cross-mailing this to gnus-bug.
