[Feature request] Add store group configuration scope

[ihor-sviziev]

For now we have 3 variants configuration scope:

• default
• website
• store view

I think we need add new scope betwean website and store view - store_group.

For example:
we have one magento website with 2 stores(2 domains) + 2 mobile themes for them (+2 domains). So we created structure:

• store 1
  • store 1 desktop store view
  • store 1 mobile store view
• store 2
  • store 2 desktop store view
  • store 2 mobile store view

For design we have next structure:

• desktop package
  • default
  • store 1
  • store 2
• mobile package
  • default
  • store 1
  • store 2

For now we need configure for store 1 themes (Translations, skins, layout, etc.), so I need set theme value "store 1" for desktop store view and for mobile store view.

If we have store_group scope we should be change theme value at store_group scope only.

I guess this would require quite some refactoring as store groups are (AFAIK!) quite "Virtual" and not really existing in the code, but more a grouping in the backend.

Any updates?

I'd be curious to know how many installations are using device-specific themes.
