For the group event, are all subsequent events associated with the group? #1179

The following isn't clear from the documentation, and the website has sent me here to create an issue to make my suggestion for an improvement.

The group standard event associates a user with a group. However it's not clear if it works the same way as identify.

If I fire a group event, does that mean that all subsequent track or page events will be associated with that group? Or is this left up to whatever backend analytics provider the user has in place?

For me, we're using Posthog and it would be good to know if I need to include information about the active group on all of my events, or if I can rely on this standard event to do that work for me.
