i haven't used group module at all, because it really does not implement
ACL capabilit, it just checks if a user belongs to a group.  which group
a request belongs to, is not addressed by group module.

group module is useful for simple group membership checking, for
example, if a user is allowed to make a pstn call.  but if we (actually
telecom law in finland) complicate things a bit by introducing different
types of pstn destinations, for example, national local, national long
distance, national cellular, national long distance, international,
different kinds of service numbers, etc. we would first need to figure
out the group of the request by some module function AND then find out
if caller belongs to that group.  

an efficient solution would combine the two actions into one.
