Well, message-x.el pretty much tries what you are suggesting here, I
think.  There's an alist which gives the expansion function for each
header.  For Newsgroups and Gcc and Followup-to, message-expand-group
is called.

message-x doesn't grok regexes in the alist, though.

And we still need a second function similar to message-expand-group
which looks at gnus-post-method.

I'll try to do what you are suggesting, and I'll post the new
message-x when I'm done.
