nnimap and username

Hello!

Using ~/.authinfo, one can specify username and/or password for
connections. I can understand, that the password should not appear in
the ".gnus"-file.

Nevertheless, is there a conceptual reason for not allowing the username
as part of the gnus-select-method-entry, i.e., "nnimap-username"? Thus
it would be easier to transfer a configuration to a different machine,
needing only ".gnus".

Greetings!
Peter
