Hi John,

Being able to identify groups within tables might also be interest for
me (in Aladin). I don't quite understand at which level the groupId is
defined. Could you elaborate a bit more, and give an example ?

The more I think about it, the more I agree that an optional struct is
the right way to keep simplicity for simple things, yet giving some
flexibility for more advanced ones. I think it is very important to keep
the 'entry cost' to PLASTIC as low as possible, otherwise most people
won't use it.

Cheers,
