I think it isn't used at all?!?

I looked at nnmbox-, nnfolder-, nnml-, and
nnimap-request-create-group.  These functions don't use the ARGS
argument.

I looked at gnus-request-create-group which presumably calls these
functions.  It just passes on its own ARGS parameter.

I then looked for callers of gnus-request-create-group.  None passed
ARGS, except for gnus-group-make-group, which passes on its own ARGS
parameter.

I then looked for callers of gnus-group-make-group.  The ARGS
parameter was not used.

[time passes]

OK, now I searched for all occurrences of -request-create-group, and
the ARGS parameter was not used in calls, except for functions which
just passed on their own ARGS parameter.

I think that this means that ARGS is not used.

Is anybody adventurous enough to try deleting it?  If it works, submit
a patch, then it will be deleted from the Gnus sources.  (This job can
be done by anybody, I think, no Lisp experience required.  Just a good
backup of your mail  :-)
