When I try to pronounce `nneething' is sounds just like `anything'.

No, it is documented in the section about fancy mail splitting:

JW>     It would be nice if this was optional.

I think `.*' is easy enough to add the few places it is needed.

JW> 13. "*" has word syntax in the article buffer.  

It has symbol syntax in Gnus 5.2.

I don't see how that can make a difference.
