== Can extensions be applied on the group level? ==
I've been building [Token CSS](https://github.com/tokencss/tokencss), a CSS tool based on the current draft spec.

I really like the groups can define a `type` which will be applied to all child tokens. I was curious if `extensions` could also be applied to groups? I'm hoping to use `extensions` to define a `scale` ([`semantic-type`](https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/104) or `used-for` values) on a per-group basis.

I'm not sure there's anything blocking this usage in the current specification but clarity would be nice! I don't think the spec needs to weigh in on how inheritance/cascading of `extensions` could work—that seems like an implementation detail left up to each tool.
