Yep.

I checked `G e' and `G E', and all look equivalent.  And in each case,
it's "nnimap:foo" and not (nnimap "foo" ...).

And did I mention that when I'm in the summary buffer for any of these
groups, invoking `gnus-summary-rescan-group' will always correctly
detect new messages for each nnimap server?  It's only
`gnus-group-get-new-news' that fails to do that for the 2nd through n-th
imap groups.
