I tried edje_editor -t and it works good. But it's not possible to list
the groups by parameter.

I would prefer an own binary for edje_player. One usage of edje_player
should be a development tool. But edje_editor could do that also.

The other usage of edje_player is to be something like a "FlashPlayer".
Users should write complete apps or games in edje only. I know Edje
isn't (yet) optimized to do this sort of application. But as you could
see in the calculator[1] example it's possible with Edje only.
