Description:
------------
Grouped elements' values are not accessable through HTML_QuickForm::exportValue('element_name')

Grouped elements are not accessable through
HTML_QuickForm::getElement()

This bug seems to be relative to feature request: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=1681

Reproduce code:
---------------
$form = new HTML_QuickForm('quickform');

$arr_grouped_elements = array();
$arr_grouped_elements[] =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('checkbox','element_name_1',null,'Element 1');
$arr_grouped_elements[] =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('checkbox','element_name_1',null,'Element 2');

$form->addGroup($arr_grouped_elements, null, 'A group of elements', false);

//line 1
echo var_dump($form->exportValue('element_name_1'));
//line 2
echo var_dump($form->getElement('element_name_2'));

Expected result:
----------------
Line 1: should return the value of the element 'element_name_1'

Line 2: should return the element 'element_name_2'

Actual result:
--------------
line 1: throws QUICKFORM_NONEXIST_ELEMENT
line 2: throws QUICKFORM_NONEXIST_ELEMENT
