Hi,
I'm using the grouping facility.
But I have no objections to have it turned off by default,
as long as I have a menu item and/or command line option
to turn it on.

The hierarchical scheme is very nice. At a certain point
we should generate an alternative to dbLoadTemplate
that is capable of expanding those sources on the IOC.

But unfortunately it is useless if you want to understand
and modify an old or third party database which is not
using your hierarchies.
And that is for me the only reason to use a graphical
tool in the first place. Therefore I would appreciate if we
could keep the grouping ability for the VisualDCT.
