Groups

A group by definition is a number of people or things that are located, gathered, or classed together.

Cableguy introduces the idea of groups to isolate common keys. A group can be anything. An application for example, or just some collection out there.

An example group implementation would be like:

Given a key database.default which holds the value of the default database specified in the database.yml of an application, this key is common to every app that will use a database.yml.

To let Cableguy know the specific value of the key, an application is assigned a group. The group name by convention is the application name. The group is set in the Configurator.
