Hi Christophe,

I do use groups a lot but not in Nautilus ;)

Groups I use: package, class, hierarchy. More rarely: recent packages.

Would I use groups in Nautilus the way the GUI is done? Probably not as
much. Scoped browsing is harder to reach, scoped browser happens in the
same browser and doesn't open a new one.

Would I use groups if they require me to flag something per class? No, not
worth the hassle.

Do I know what is the benefit of groups in Nautilus? No, it's unclear.
Groups do not seem to bring any benefit. Example :

- Switched to group Last Modified Classes
- searched implementors of #type:
- expected list of implementors of #type in last modified classes
- got implementors of #type in the whole world
- Fail :(
