Good point. As I said someone would have found a good use for it :D

More than grouping, that's a multiple selection thing anyway; some CAD
have the concept of 'selection sets' while we are talking about it...

It's the old hier. vs relational thing... in modern times 'bookmark
folders' vs 'bookmark tags'.

Once good multiple selection is in place it would be *a lot* easier to
code than groups, I thinks. I feel that groups would be not so easy to
handle in pcbnew...
