I thought about the other options (multiple groups, is_visible, and
bin_attrs), but those are almost all not the "normal" usage, so I figure
it's worth the extra 6 lines of text if you want to support is_visible
or binary attributes.

After converting all of the class code to use groups, it seems to match
up with the defaults, but if in the future it's more popular than
expected, I'll gladly add it.

thanks,
