Comment:

 Thanks, that does help.

 I think that a procedural wrapper is still the way to go here. It's more
 the "WordPress way", and is in keeping with functions like
 `bp_activity_get()` and `groups_get_groups()`. Something like
 `xprofile_get_groups()`, which would wrap the static class method and run
 the return value through `apply_filters()`. Then find the two or three
 places where we call this method internally, and use the procedural
 wrapper instead.

 This is an easy patch for someone who wants some props for 2.1 ;)
