Now that the dust has settled (briefly) on yoshimi, I had time for a look at
this.

I like what you have so far. It seems quite intuitive. I actually like the
consistency that whether switching on or off, using shift means that this
button's behaviour is totally independent of any other.

I'm a bit ambivalent about Michael's suggestion of a sort of 'pending' state
for solo groups. I don't think I personally would ever use it. However, if it
were to be implemented I would suggest that it would be on the basis of using
the CTRL key, in association with a mouse click.

Then CTRL would toggle between a true solo *or* the rest of the group, and shift
would then bring an unlit solo back into the group.
