I don't plan to use nested groups and it will slow processing down, so I
vote against it.
Sounds silly? No more so than those "voting against $Log".
I wasn't aware this list was a democracy.

I don't plan to use $Log either, but I'm not criticizing those who do.

If you don't want a new feature, don't use it.
If you do want a new feature implemented, repeat your feature request.

Now can we all get back to more important things?
