 simple examples in the BP test code?

 I'll have to think that over. I have a feeling that the existing
 functionality is going to be pretty hard to test. The group extension
 objects are loaded into the global scope with no predictable name attached
 to them; much of the logic happens in template files; and load order is
 sorta unpredictable. Ideally, we'd have centralized methods for checking
 access, but that's one of the problems that needs to be fixed here :) I'll
 try to find some time to write a test or two that demonstrates the current
 functionality.
