Ability to separate fieldsets into different Vertical Tabs

Issue Summary

I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up, but I couldn't find anything on it in my searching.

I was wondering about being able to separate different fieldsets into different vertical tab sets. I have attached a screenshot of a current project that I am developing. The fieldsets created in CCK (inside the red box in the screenshot) get combined with fieldsets from other modules. This UI is very unintuitive. It would be really nice if we could specify what group or set a fieldset should be linked to.

I have looked through the code and see a #group declaration and I have searched documentation and I believe I saw somewhere that referenced the #group attribute, and stated that, while it is required, the value of it doesn't matter as Vertical Tabs doesn't differentiate between group names.

If this isn't something that would be useful to put into Vertical Tabs itself, I wouldn't mind putting together a module that provides this functionality separately, but I'm not exactly sure where to start. If someone could point me in the right direction on that I will see what I can put together (I do know how to build Drupal modules, I am just referring to the vertical tabs specific parts).

I like the idea of this feature...

I feel like there should be some sort of text field that comes up when you select "vertical tabs" from the groups edit page, and a simple 0-9 numeric entry will dictate which group the tab belongs to. 0 should be the one on the bottom of the page that has the node control content, everyone thereafter should be part of the vertical tab id, and should dictate which tab set the group is bundled up with.
