[JDEV] nested group

[Kenta Shiga]

Thank you Joe.

I'd like to point out two things.

1.
I think mod_groups needs to be changed on server side,
because 'required' groups can be nested.

2.
As Mike also pointed out,
some recommendation / standadization is needed
to clarify specification,
for example, how slashes within names of groups should be escaped
and something like that.

Best Regards,
