I don't see scoring making this enough easier that it's worth the time
and effort and space for the new code. Better, I think, would be to
expand levels to a 1-99 or 1-999 scale. Then apply a level change to all
groups in a region or all command marked groups and resort by level.
Same results as scoring, for all intents, with a minimum of code and
.newsrc expansion, and one less number to confuse yourself over ("Now if
the score is greater than the level then this happens, but if it's less
than the level then something completely different happens, and how does
it work with two groups with different levels have the same score, and
what about two groups with the same level but different scores, and...
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!").
