    I'd like to see a function that steps through all Groups and
    Topics and which would dump the Group parameter (And server)
    data in so that I could save that periodically to
    separate backup disk.

    So if my .newsrc* is sometimes gone or if I killed some groups
    by accident, I could cut'n paste or Import the Group Parameter
    back to the group

    So a simple Write/Read Group parameter data to a file would
    be fine for now. A Map-through-groups toplevel function would
    be next step.

    I also move data between several Emasc/Gnus in different sites, so
    exporting, importing Group/Server data would be nice.
