Ctrl-click now selects within groups, ctrl-shift-click adds to selection disregarding grouping. Multiple and nested groups work. Special care was taken to preven double grouping when both a group and one of its descendants are selected. Please test.
I also plan to implement cltr-alt-click to "select under", i.e. multiple cltr-alt-clicks will cycle selection through the stack of objects at the current point, starting from the topmost one and going towards the bottom (also disregarding grouping). I would like to do the same for alt-click _preserving_ grouping, but unfortunately alt-clicks are usually stolen by a window manager.

Good work!
One thing -- as it is currently, you can select things within a group, but not e.g. move them around when they are selected -- probably contrary to user expectations.
I guess this means the next phase of my layers work just became more important -- making groups that have selected children (descendants) automatically 'transparent' (in the SPArenaGroup sense).
On the other hand, you're getting experienced with this code now. Do you have ideas for how best to make these selected items draggable directly? I think the code I originally had in mind to do selection-dependant "event transparency" could get nasty to implement.
