== [Format] Group & file level properties ==
Several issues have raised the need for adding token properties at group and file levels. I'm creating this issue to consolidate discussions about this topic.

For example Types:

```js
{
  "colorTextPrimary": {
    "value": "#000000",
    "type": "Color"  // Tedious
  },
  "colorTextSecondary": {
    "value": "#333333",
    "type": "Color" // Tedious
  },
  ...
}


///  VS  ///
{
  "color": {
    "type": "Color", // Define once for the grouping
    "textPrimary": {
      "value": "#000000",
    },
    "textSecondary": {
      "value": "#333333",
    },
  ...
  }
}
```

Or descriptions for documentation about an entire group:

```js
{
  "colorText": {
    "type": "Color",
    "description": "Our palette of colors for text only.",
    "primary": {
      "value": "#000000",
      "description": "Use as the default text color",
    },
    "secondary": {
      "value": "#333333",
      "description": "Use for text that is not as important."
    },
  ...
  }
}
```
