+1. We also need improvement for legend groups in python API. 

BTW, if we go in the direction of having groups with properties, we are one
step closer to data blocks present in Arcgis. A data block is linked to a
composer map, and has a lot of properties (size, frames, geographical grids,
scr, extent, clip & mask... ). 
This could lead us to an elegant way of handling multimap composers, and
maybe also to be able to switch main mapcanvas into paper units, with a
frame indicating paper pages.. Really userfull when dealing with text
annotations that need to be calibrated for paper and not screen.

Is that a long term target for you? Should we try to plan it for 3.0?
