Now that I think about it for a few moments, what I think would be really useful here is a "locked" automatic group -- you enable it for selected tracks and then it's locked to whatever it was set to until it's turned off and on again.
The problem I have with the group-follows-selection paradigm is that track selection in REAPER is not always consistent -- click an item, the track is selected; marquee-select some items, the tracks are not selected. The reliability and utility of a group-follows-track-selection rule is dependent on your ability to predict how the selection can change as you work.
So a locked behavior would be welcome here. I can also just rebuild my own "temp group" script based on a Group 64 (but without the helpful 'highest-group' actions), but I think the use case I'm describing is pretty common.
