Suppose I wanted to display the number of cached messages in a group
in the *Group* buffer. I can think of two ways to achieve that:
(1) Write gnus-user-format-function-c and use %uc specifier.
(2) Add an entry in gnus-group-line-format-alist and use %c specifier.
The second one seems cleaner but suffers from potential problems with
future versions of Gnus using this specifier. The first one seems
misplaced in site-start.el.
What should I do?

I think the first one is better. You can also use the "advanced"
%...@ spec thing.
