Description

Related to https://github.com/buildingSMART/NextGen-IFC/issues/61

Research direction

Start by reviewing the related issue #61 and the proposal's example and formal representation. The issue says the proposal needs substantial refinement but does not identify files, tests, or a concrete implementation target. Done would require an agreed, precise specification for mapping nested IfcGroups.
