Better groups

[konsumer]

I currently treat GROUPSTART messages like repeat messages, and pull all the bytes (up to and including GROUPEND) in protoquuery, so I can do this:

const medias = query(appTree, '10:bytes').map(i => {
  const t = getTree(i)
  return {
    type: query(t, '1:var').pop(),
    url: query(t, '5:string').pop()
  }
})
expect(medias.length).toEqual(10)
const icon = medias.find(m => m.type === 4).url
const screenshots = medias.filter(m => m.type === 1).map(m => m.url)
const videos = medias.filter(m => m.type === 3).map(m => m.url)
const videoThumbs = medias.filter(m => m.type === 13).map(m => m.url)

and get this:

{
  "icon": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/qTt7JkhZ-U0kevENyTChyUijNUEctA3T5fh7cm8yzKUG0UAnMUgOMpG_9Ln7D24NbQ",

}

It works, but it's a bit awkward to have to pull the sub-messages first (10:bytes) then parse each as a tree. I would rather it worked more like this:

const mediaTypes = query(appTree, '10.1:var')
const mediaUrls = query(appTree, '10.5:string')

Where 10 is considered a "repeating message field" and 1/5 are fields of that, which you can pull as normal types.
