Thanks for moving that forward, Monte.

I agree that the best solution would be for "it" to contain the long id 
of the newly created group.

"last group" doesn't appear to be broken per se, because AFAIK it seems 
to faithfully return the group with the highest ordinal number, even if 
in some cases we might prefer it behave like a "most recently created" 
function instead.

So making sure "it" has the object reference not only provides a good 
solution, but one which is consistent with other object creation commands.
