During the discussions of TE tunnel and topology models, we have found that
it is desirable to have the capability of augmenting a grouping.

In our case, there are multiple technology specific models augmenting a
base generic model. In the base model, some groupings are used multiple
times, and each augmentation model needs to add more schema nodes to the
grouping structure. For now, we have to specify an “augment” statement for
each location where the grouping is used. Such an “augment” statement is
repeated many times. It would be convenient and cleaner if we could augment
the grouping.

We’d like to hear opinions on the feasibility of such a capability.

Thanks,
