GROUP parameter in a mapfile

[Steve Lime]

I'd like to learn more about a use case that would demonstrate the need.
I think
in particular it could complicate the already nasty task of building
tree'd legends
from mapfiles. One idea might be to treat the group property as a regex
instead
of straight text. So you'd do:

  GROUP 'somegroup1|somegroup2' or 
  GROUP /somegroup1|somegroup2/ 

or something like that. That could cause some funky problems in cases
where
folks had group names that were substrings of one another.

Hi Steve,

Thanks. Is it possible to add this as a new feature? Do you think it
could be 
interesting for everyone?

Regards,

Y.
