--------------------------+--------------------------
 This is a master ticket for 1.8 improvements to `BP_Group_Extension`.
 Items I plan to look at:

 - Setting up and checking nonces automatically, instead of forcing plugin
 authors to manage it themselves
 - Do a better job of checking whether to run display callbacks. Eg,
 there's no reason why plugin authors should have to check `if ( !
 bp_is_group_creation_step( $this->slug ) )` before rendering their
 `edit_screen` markup.
 - The markup requirements on `edit_screen()` and `create_screen()` are
 slightly different, in particular regarding the Submit button. Think about
 ways this can be made more consistent.
 - More intelligent defaults for `enable_create_step`, etc. Eg, if there's
 no `create_step()` method, we can pretty safely assume that
 `enable_create_step` should be disabled, at least by default. See also
