the latter (A, D, F, H) describes the intention. a better name would
be *_GROUP_START, you're probably right about the ambiguity. i'll try
to clarify this.

yes, without a distinct group ID or proper hierarchical scheme like
the one you describe here there'll always be a lot of setups that
can't be expressed (RDF, is that you knocking?) -- but this will do
for the simpler cases of breaking up a line of GUI controls in the
meantime.
