If you're going to go that far, you might want to allow a function (or
form) too (a-la gnus).  As an example, that can be handy when you want
to file mail based on the year:

  (setq gnus-message-archive-group
        '((list (concat "all-" (format-time-string "%Y")))))

That tells gnus that the archive group should be "all-YYYY".

(Section 5.5 in "info gnus" has all the gory details if you want to see
 what's been done there.)
