## Functions

### createGroup

Creates a new group instance with batch selection and tri-state support.

Extends `createSelection` to support selecting, unselecting, and toggling multiple items
at once by passing an array of IDs. Adds tri-state (mixed/indeterminate) support for
checkbox trees and similar use cases.

```ts
(_options?: GroupOptions) => R
```

### createGroupContext

Creates a new group context.

```ts
(_options?: GroupContextOptions) => ContextTrinity<R>
```

### useGroup

Returns the current group instance.

```ts
(namespace?: string) => R
```
