> My reading of his example is that button.text is actually a group referencing another group as a shortcut to create a batch of alias tokens. Yes, precisely. The system I'm using right now already has groups and aliases to groups implemented, and I'd say that it's partly-successful: It definitely does achieve its goal of allowing easier reuse of groups of tokens, but about half of people find the concept confusing, and it's not split down engineer-or-designer lines. Some designers find groups intuitive, but the one currently in charge of our design system finds them hopelessly complicated. Most engineers grasp the idea easily, but some are resistant because they keep thinking that it's something they'll need to support at runtime instead of getting "compiled out." -- GitHub Notification of comment by TravisSpomer Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/97#issuecomment-1012654762 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
