Yeah, grouping is supported. But the properties of a group are simply
the union of all the properties of all the objects in the group. If
you change a property of a group, the new property is applied to all
the objects in the group. Also, a group does not have any additional
properties of its own.

Interesting. That would be a nice thing to have, but not happening in
the near future, I guess!
