 * Have a function that allows the plugins to be listed in order of the groups they
   are in.
    Another function might restrict the list to only those in selected groups.
 * If a plugin is included in more than one group, then it gets shown in each group
   that it is in.

 * One of the reasons why this was suggested, was that ;
    when the user is reviewing
   all of their plugins (which ones they’ll keep or dump, or why do they still want
   them), they will need to cover the entire list. They need to know that they have
   looked at each plugin and decided to keep (and possibly adjust which group[s]
   they want to have it included in.) The the full list acts as a complete check
   list. But in looking at the whole list, they need to go up and down to see what
   the other plugins in the same group are. So if the plugins are displayed in order
   of groups (with duplicates being shown in each group – possibly some sort of 
   visual note that it already is in a group higher up the list), then all plugins
   related to a group can be seen at once.
 * It would also be handy to attach notes to plugins, and to attach flags to plugins.
   The user could assign the purpose of the flags, such as mark to keep/dump/yet
   to review/seems troublesome/checks out well-send approval message to plugin site/
   etc.
