Re: [whatwg/dom] Proposal: a DocumentFragment whose nodes do not get removed once inserted (#736)

FrameMuse left a comment (whatwg/dom#736)

> a range could select a start comment (setStartBefore) and and end content (setEndAfter) and validate on range.createGorupNodes() which returns a new GroupNodes via extractContents(), comments (boundaries) nodes removed and bound to the rest of the fragment, and from that time on any DOM operation that recieves or uses that group as reference would move such range around, prepend, append, insertBefore, remove and whatnot.

I feel like the `range.groupNodes()` would be such a strong API.

And I think the name should be like `groupNodes` instead of `createSMTH` since `create` implies multiple usage, but `group` or `toGroup` implies conversion, which is exactly what happens and it basically repeats `group` method from Figma Plugin API, which does essentially what you described.
