This would be useful.

(OTOH this sort of points out one problem with the package system, I
guess that stuff ends up in core XEmacs while gnus really is a
package.  It should be possible to add these sort of things in the
package.  But this is a minor bug that causes few, if any, real
problems so it is probably easier to ignore it.)
