Description
.SP 5 5
Groups objects together for which the `separator' function returns the same
value. `obarr' should be an array of objects, other types are ignored.
The `separator' function is called only once in each object in `obarr'. The
return value is an array of arrays of objects on the form:
({
({Same1:1, Same1:2, Same1:3, .... Same1:N }),
({Same2:1, Same2:2, Same2:3, .... Same2:N }),
({Same3:1, Same3:2, Same3:3, .... Same3:N }),
....
....
({SameM:1, SameM:2, SameM:3, .... SameM:N }),
})
