Using the QGis API it is possible to add layers to the currently opened project using the function addMapLayer() of the [[QgsMapLayerRegistry]] class. Within the GUI it is further possible to add groups to the legend (Right-click on legend area & Add group) that can hold a number of layers. Can this function be exposed to the API? So that new layer groups can be created and/or deleted and new layers can be added to already existing groups etc. That would help programming users to keep a clear project structure.
