[stringtemplate-interest] Problems migrating v3 template group inheritance to v4

[Balazs Varnai]

Hi.

Well, I checked the unit tests. Those are only using the STGroupFile class
for testing the import facility. I replaced STGroupDir with STGroupFile,
now it works. But I still wonder, is this intentional?
For me it was natural to start with STGroupDir when having a directory with
.stg files and import within the directory. Maybe I was wrong...

Thanks!
