Simplify the Context Menu by Grouping
The context menu looks very confusing having too many separator lines. A proper grouping mechanism would provide users with a cleaner look and app developers with a better way to hook into predefined groups to enhance the context menu.

Groups -- order as in the context menu:
1) what you can do to the content
2) what you can do with the path/location
3) miscellaneous
4) Properties
General notes:
- elementary-
- additional items appear after eOS-defined items in alphabetical order
- should applications be able to register one new group for a file type (appears in between 2 and 3)? So, the maximum number of groups = 5?
Notes for each group:
1) open, open in, (de-)compress etc.
2) cut, copy, move, move to trash, etc.
3) bookmarking, managing, marking, highlighting, featurism
4) locked; only the Properties item
