Ergh, that sounds _extremely_ annoying...

Note, I'm not saying groups first is _bad_ per-se, just that it has to
be done carefully.  [Sadly, many GUI file browsers seem to do it very
badly... :( ]

For instance, the way "C-h m" presents the list of minor modes, with a
fairly compressed list of obvious links that precedes the major-mode
info, so it all fits on a few lines, seems pretty good.
