I'd be happy to have that happen, but given the current format of the  
BSM
I don't see how you can do it in a way that will be backward compatible.
The RP is a subset of the group range
If you enter a standard group range and then a bidir group range, it
isn't clear how a receiving client would parse the packet.  I'm
afraid some might overwrite the first range with the second.
