In the first version of this patchset I said:

"The 5 next ones are solving 1 big issue: once we pair with another peer,
there is no proper way to find out to which group this peer now ends up 
with.

There was some attempt to solve this via the GroupMember object, used in
Members property of a group. But - when this was used only when the group
is the GO - the GroupMember object still could not help to make any 
relationship
with the originated Peer object since it provides no properties or methods.
Not to say it was then useless in case the group is just the client."


Thus my attempt to fix this as providing peer object path in the Members 
property
+ the Group property in Peer object side (which is currently not 
multigroup enabled
as you noticed)
