and test for nested groupnames all the way down..

this means the _expandUserList code needs to keep track of the nested groups, and maybe should also keep track of what nested group a user comes in from.

once that is done, addUserToGroup and removeUserFromGroup could also add nested groups - I've written and disabled the FuncUser unit tests for that, as i don't (yet) have time to go into that depth.

and using that extra parsing info, we could then make GROUPINFO have an extra option to not expand nested groups either - so that the WikiGroups topic makes a little more sense for users of nested groups.

I believe that this was addressed in 1.1.2 with the addition of noexpand option, and in 1.1.0 with the new Groups API. Setting to No action.
