Note that symbolic links at the GROUP level to other GROUPs work rather
strangely in some cases.  For example, a LISTF @.@ will traverse the target
group twice, reporting that all of the files exist in each "group".  This
could cause problems for some tools/applications/humans.

The symlink looks enough like a real group that certain MPE commands will go
ahead and try to operate on it as though it were a real group, though some
operations work, some fail halfway, and some don't work or just don't see
the group at all.

Beware.
