Description:
------------
Currently, the $lu->getproperty('group_ids') delivers

a) MEDIUM: all group-id's of groups the user is in (because
subgroups are not available in this Schema)

b) COMPLEX: all group-id's of groups and subgroup-id's the
user is in

I have written an application with the Complex-Schema and
came to a point where it would've been helpful to get all
group-id's of groups the user is in, but no subgroups -
because the system in my case only allowed one group per
user (with as many subgroups you want) and I wanted a quick
way to get the group-id of the user.

ATM this is only possible by instantiating a LiveUser_Admin
object.

This is one of some cases I stumbled upon, where the
seperation of Auth/Perm/Admin resulted in a dirty
architectural decision, where it could've been so easy.

This is just a suggestion and based on a (german) discussion
here: http://www.pear-forum.de/ftopic919.html

Well seems I actually forgot the suggestion itself:

Seperate $lu->getproperty('group_ids') into

$lu->getproperty('group_ids') => get all groups, no subgroups
$lu->getproperty('all_group_ids') => get all groups with
subgroups
