Can templates be nested? E.g. create one for all of my current students by 
naming the individual templates for each course? This is also useful for 
gathering faculty groups in hierarchies (as they are typically organized 
administratively).

This isn't as important to me as copy/paste, but that ability to nest 
groups is my second favorite feature of Mulberry.
