This could maybe have been considered.  Such a grouping would of
course only be allowed to be used in a choice, and it would be limited
to define *only* case nodes.  As such it is a bit different than other
groupings.

Note that you can achieve a similar effect by doing:

  grouping choice-with-common-cases {
    choice the-choice {
      case b {
        leaf b {
        }
      }

      case c {
        leaf c {
        }
      }
    }
  }

  container alpha {
    uses choice-with-common-cases {
      augment "the-choice" {
        case a {
          leaf a {
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

  container beta {
    uses choice-with-common-cases {
      augment "the-choice" {
        case d {
          leaf d {
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
