 The docs for `bp_is_profile_component()` and `bp_is_user_profile()` say
 that they "Check whether the current page is part of the Profile
 component," and ask "Is the current page part of a user's extended
 profile?", respectively, yet if you run either of those functions on, say,
 `/members/[username]/groups`, it returns false, since it uses
 `bp_is_current_component()`, which returns `groups` and not `profile` or
 `xprofile`. The `bp_is_user_profile()` docs even give the example
 "/members/joe/profile/ (or a subpage thereof)," so it seems like its
 purpose would be to detect the root or parent component here.

 Maybe the problem is one of consistency--when you run
 `bp_current_component` on a profile subpage, it returns the name of the
 subpage, but when you run it on a groups subpage, e.g.
 /groups/testgroup/members, it returns the root component, i.e. "groups."
