The system I've built is basically exactly what's proposed here, including the ability to override and add to, except I use `"aliasOf": "original-group"` instead of `"$extends": "{original-group}"`. I chose `aliasOf` because that's the syntax I use for tokens that reference other tokens, and feels like the same concept applied to groups, so it seemed at the time that obviously it should have the same syntax. But now that I know what I know now, and mentioned later in #97, I think it may help a lot to have aliases of groups *not* be *called* aliases. A new term "extends" seems like it might make it easier for some people who struggled with the idea of aliasing groups to comprehend, while not making it any more challenging for the others, so I think I like this proposal slightly better than what I had built.
