Yes.  If you look in the geeklog code for calls to SEC_inGroup() it is
really only used for the  Root group.  Most of the other instance
where it is used it is used against a group id variable.  The
remainder I would argue are redundant if we better respected
privileges in 1.3.x.  I'd recommend a "isRoot" function, but I think
"inGroup" is really not needed except when actually administering
group membership.

Better names for those columns wouldn't hurt, I just couldn't come up
with anything better when I was implementing it in 1.3.x.  I looked
around at other algorithms when I was first looking into improving the
performance of comments and didn't find anything better.  If you do
find something let me know.  This was, by far, the best I found.  The
biggest downside is that I had to lock the table during inserts, but
that is really OBE since we can use transactions.
