symbolic links to groups, and otherwise sharing subgroups

I started thinking about it this morning, and realized that symbolic links
for groups would solve all kinds of issues.

Need a group in multiple stacks?  Just link it.

Need a group that is shared among subgroups, rather than top level groups?
Just link it.

And so forth.

This would obviously be an engine change . . .

So for the moment, is there a decent way to share subgroups?

All I have so far is a substack for such groups, and a routine that cycles
though the various stacks looking for groups with those names and swapping
them into the parent groups.
