Well, if you set no prefix for a method, you can call it "primary" for
sure. But that's up to you. And that could fit in a single variable
`gnus-methods', no need for two variables. And the rest of the Gnus code
would be a lot clearer. :)
Or we just force every methods to have a prefix, so we only handle
something that looks like current secondary methods?

Err. I understand that. :-D
Well, so using the method type to decide is probably still the best.
