(The "re-use" of #H#V there seems crazy to me... (re: your other email))

Anyway, no, nobody is using this yet.  I'm really just defining things
at this point so future stuff that needs it can use it easily and get
along.  First thing's first and all that.

I will name the groups (multi-channel) H#P.  I suppose I should use e.g.
acn1Channel rather than wChannel for the roles (single channel) too...
