Thanks, that was not something that I had considered.

I was thinking more of a scenario where matches and groups
were closely tied. So the scenario you describe would involve
different groups with different fields though possibly their buckets
would be identical.

In any case, I think your suggestion is reasonable depending on
how other threads of discussion regarding fields pan out.
