Note that the hierarchy I suggested for parameters would be orthogonal
to the hierarchy for UI (topics). Is using an "auto.*" name for a
group any easier than adding a "parameter-parent" parameter?
Hmm... I can imagine it would be useful for a group to have an ordered
list of parents. Then groups g1 and g2 could share one set of
attributes via a common parent p1, while g1 shares another set of
attributes with group g3 via another parent p2; g2 wouldn't need to be
a descendent of p2, and g3 wouldn't need to be a descendent of p1.

It's certainly useful. But if we can provide a single unified way of
doing things that's at least *as useful* as any existing scheme,
then that would seem like a good thing to do.
