quirk in group resize behavior

[Scott Rossi]

ControlGravity was the first property name that came into my mind, but
it's not really accurate.  In my view, this implies that controls
physically move to the designated edge of the group (as an icon does in a
button with iconGravity -- why this property wasn't named iconAlignment is
beyond me).

Terms that are similar to "anchor", "referencePoint" or "origin" would
seem to make more sense.
