Pacman and the new group handling

Hi,

I was trying the new group feature in pacman, when i saw the news in the mailing list i got real happy, mainly becouse searching for the important packages (base) is a pain in the ass when you have dialup and upgrade little by little. So when i found out that

pacman -Syf base

was not working, well, lets say i wasnt all that happy as before...
just a thought, why dont make pacman handle categories such as the ones in the lists:

base, multimedia, x11, devel... and so on. so if someone wants all the base updates, just runs pacman like above...
