That wasn't really a fully-formed feature suggestion, just a quick, 
half-baked example of how it might look.
Anyway, what exactly is your objection? The string group IDs? Since a 
group isn't really a thing, I wasn't sure about giving it an actual 
identifier. It could be done and might look cleaner, it just might 
unexpectedly clash with variable or macro names.
Or is your complaint with the group idea itself? It was suggested as an 
improvement to the "object ID" idea, and seems much better to me. Got a 
better idea?
