Aha! Of course, now what I want is some way of having my cake and eating it too. What would be nice would be to have some way of creating a trail page (containing, say, a list of all the groups) and using that as the source trail for the SideBar navigation; but at the same time, be able to regenerate the contents of that trail page from a pagelist, so that one doesn't have to update it by hand. In other words, some way of caching the result of a pagelist. Is that possible? I don't think the pagelist-trail recipe is what is wanted for this, because I assume that that has the same problems as using a pagelist directly -- every time the pagelist-trail is referenced, it has to recalculate the contents of the trail by looking though the whole wiki.
