Yes please.

I have in my notes:

Template Group Hierarchies.
  Interestingly these are not template relative, but group relative.
  i.e
  ROOT/module/one.st
  ROOT/module/two.st
  where one.st needs to reference a call to two() then it needs to use
module/two() in order to do so.

As an aside, I think STGroupDir is a poor cousin of STGroupFile.
STGroupDir doesn't seem to behave the same or have the same feature
set.
Unfortunately I didn't keep notes as to what was different.
I think the only way to ensure compatibility is by using the same test
suite against both group types.

In the end I just moved to *.stg files with imports and haven't looked back.
