Enhancement - allow the creation of group layers within Local Layer Widget

[slead]

It would be great if the local layer widget allowed the creation of group layers within its configuration page. Here's a use-case:

I have multiple layers representing Earthquakes and Floods at various scales. I want to add them as individual feature layers, with scale dependency controlling which layers are shown at a given scale.

To simplify the user experience I'd like a group layer checkbox for Earthquake and Flood, which would control all sub-layer visibility, eg:

• Flood
  • Flood feature layer 1
  • Flood feature layer 2
  • Flood feature layer 3
• Earthquake
  • Earthquake feature layer 1
  • Earthquake feature layer 2

Hey Stephen, hope things are well. I might make the argument here that this would be better suited to a custom LayerList widget, rather than an enhancement neded to the LocalLayer widget. Being able to 'customize' your Layer List from any layers on the map would be a pretty handy widget to have.
