 Via https://wordpress.org/support/topic/buddypress-incompatibility/, the
 plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/beautiful-taxonomy-filters/ hooks
 into `loop_start` and makes an assumption that the argument passed is an
 instance of `wp_query`.

 In our `BP_Groups_Group_Members_Template` and `BP_Groups_Invite_Template`
 classes, however, we also call the same action, and because we obv. don't
 pass it a `wp_query` object, we cause a fatal error. This dates back to
 1.0 and 1.1.

 All of our other loops have our own-named actions in these template loop
 start locations, I think we should rename these actions and suffer the
 potential backwards compatibility break.
