Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [ticket:324 nikos]:
 > I think it would be useful to extent all general commands so they handle
 subgroups as all other datatypes.

 This request suggests a misunderstanding about subgroups. They aren't
 self-contained entities like groups or rasters or vectors; they're
 properties of a group.

 Using g.rename to modify a subgroup would be like using g.rename to change
 a map's title. Using g.remove to remove a subgroup would be like using
 g.remove to remove features from a vector map.

 I suggest that this is resolved as "invalid".
