It would only effect the *display* of the tree and of the dialog where
one selects an existing declaration, nothing else. 

For example, I'm currently designing my future house using it, and have
around 60 pigment or texture declarations and 50 object declarations. It
makes a hell of a list to search through. If I could group them, eg.
"metals", "glasses", "woods" etc., it would be easier to find a texture
in the tree or popup list. Same with the objects.

1. Starting with a new scene;
2. Add a prism object.
3. Select the top-left point in the "top" view
4. Click the 'delete' button in the prism properties
5. The top-RIGHT point (ie, the first point in the list) gets deleted
instead of the top-left point (the last point in the list).

Scenario 2:
1. Starting with a new scene;
2. Add a prism object
3. In the prism properties, select the second point (the right-most
vertex should be highlighted in the top view)
4. On the top view, select the left-most vertex (the point before last
should be highlighted in the list)
5. Click the delete button
6. The right-most vector will be deleted instead of the left-most.

The same happens with lathe and surface-of-revolution objects. 

It seems that the 'delete' button will delete the last point which was
selected from the properties list, irrespective of whether a different
point has been highlighted in the viewport(s).

The same happens with the insert-point buttons.

Declarations have to be top level for efficiency reasons IIRC. \

&gt; bug:
&gt;
&gt; When selecting a vertex in a lathe object it is \
highlighted in the list, &gt; but if you click the \
&quot;delete&quot; button, another vertex will be deleted.
