alembic could be easier to use/manage with a few more options:
- ability to group selected alembic nodes into one single alembic node.
imagine importing instanced particles animation, the scene explorer would show up tons of nodes when only one would be required in reality.
- ability to assign the same timing controls to a group of selected alembic nodes.
when importing alembic files with multiples object i want to be able to tweak all their timing through one single control.
