Ah.  It's clearer now.  So gnus-secondary-select-methods can be a list
of items, and each item can be a select method or a server name.

I think it would be clearer if Gnus accepted the "nnml:foo" strings
instead of just server names in gnus-secondary-select-methods.

(You can do stuff like (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnml "")), but you can also define a foreign server x and then do
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods "x").  At least rumor has
it that this is supposed to work.  I think this second method makes
it clearer that foreign and secondary servers are quite similar.)
