I asked this exact question on StackOverflow a couple of weeks ago and before I 
was attacked by Mark for not asking the question he answered we were getting

child objects to use in their resizing.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16168091/how-do-you-change-the-rect-of-a-group-without-changing-the-location-of-the-objec/16178454#16178454

Anyway... all will be revealed at the conference on Tuesday
