Oh, please don't tell me we have a naming collision here.

"Supergroups," as I always learned from Day 1 of AFS, are pts negative
IDs that are created by an admin so that it and it's subgroups can be
manipulated by more than one person.

e.g.:
 - pts exa facilities
Name: facilities, id: -905, owner: facilities, creator: admin,
  membership: 2, flags: S-M--, group quota: 0.
 - pts m facilities
 [regular userid]
 [regular userid]
- pts listo facilities
facilities:folks
facilities:unix
facilities:afs
etc. etc. etc.

Call me pedantic, but I'd like to see we don't use the same term for
two different things.
