One thing that puzzles me is why it's not just a boolean clipToBounds/clipToRect indicating that if you change the rect of the group the objects in it should just be clipped. The other is why when one of the useful things for it to do is allow scrolling of the unlocked group it doesn't. Perhaps it needs a paired boolean property scrollToFormattedRect or would just adding scrolling to groups with a boundingRect be backwards compatible?
