title: Is It Possible To Have One Group Inherit From Another In A Gemfile
body: <p>If I have a series of gems that are needed in multiple groups, can I have groups inherit from a base group?</p>
  
  <p>I know I can do:</p>
  
  <p><code>
  gem "example", {:groups=&gt;[:group_1, :group_2]}
  </code></p>
  
  <p>Or:</p>
  
  <pre><code>group :group_1, :group_2 do
     gem "example"
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But is there a way to do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>group :base do
     gem "example"
  end
  
  group :group_1 &lt; :base do
     …
  end
  
  group :group_2 &lt; :base do
     …
  end
  </code></pre>
