Clip racks!

Now that we have drum and instrument racks, I would like clip racks.

The idea would be for a clip rack to hold a collection of clips that are intended to be used together, such as the ones that participate in follow actions. I can think of three reasons for having such groupings:

1) If you always launch only the first member of a rack, there is no need for the others to take up space.

2) This "not taking up space" property is even more important with an APC40, because it means that you would not have to devote a button to a clip that you intend never to launch.

3) The rack could have macros that could be set to control what happens to the clips in the rack independently of any other clips in the track.
