ok.

in the new API, i would like to have:
gp = Blender.groups['group']

> gp.objects.append(ob)

dp.add()?

i suggest to use the Set interface for groups.
then we can use the existing set code in py,

all = gp_a + gp_b + gp_c
not_a = all - gp_a
etc..

i use groups .. oops i mean sets already in many things here at orange.

i think this all is perfect - let's just do the Set integration too!
