But IIUYC, I think it would be a mistake to automatically assign an option or face the group that was last specified before it in the same file. What for? What is gained? Sounds like an invitation for user errors that won't necessarily be noticed right away. It might not be an important error to assign the wrong group, but why encourage that possibility? That is what I feel, too. Omitting the :group is no big savings in effort; writing it gives you a chance to think about it.
