* make add_group return proper name
* ensure central transform/check
* added 'silent' option to avoid spamming current users
those already using the plugins were used to the transformations, so no need to alert them
* centralized valid var names
* dont display dupes
* comment on regex
* added regex tests
ini and script will now warn about deprecation
* more complete errormsg
The «if err» test always passed after #cf938e99926 changed the earlier
assignment to always set err to "\n" if stderr was empty, and so every
script plugin (e.g., ec2.py) started to always report an empty ERROR.
A bugfix backported to 2.5 also contained the new toggle option. The release
manager approved backporting this added feature to the dot release, so updating
devel to accurately reflect when the fetaure was added.
* restrore showing stderr on script success
accidentally removed during transition to plugin, with toggle for those
who prefer the quiet way

restructured mixins
* fix typo
* Using docstrings conflicts with the standard use of docstrings

changes to the plugin and module code subject to the requirement that we
ensure it won't be run with optimization.
