I lost you here. Do you mean the car of that cons cell should get the
integer I generate and the cdr be left to the caller's disposition?
Group numbers are used for (1) uniquely identifying groups and (2) for
internal bookkeeping. The user is _not_ allowed to manipulate them.
Anything else would permit a user to make one group pretend the identity
of another by simply assigning it the same id. I suppose that an
application that wants to keep track of groups can simply define its own
alist mapping Emacs generated numbers to whatever they want.
