Drawback is if you move the objects around in the file.

Makes more work for my GUI Builder. :(
I would think that changing the existing '-group' option so related
Radiobuttons use the same keyword or number would clearly show which
Radiobutton belong together, eg.
$Window->AddRadiobutton( -group => 'colors', ... );
$Window->AddRadiobutton( -group => 'colors', ... );
$Window->AddRadiobutton( -group => 'colors', ... );
# second group:
$Window->AddRadiobutton( -group => 'animals', ... );
$Window->AddRadiobutton( -group => 'animals', ... );
$Window->AddRadiobutton( -group => 'animals', ... );
