Description:
Please add some form of categorisation/organisation/grouping mechanism to the diagrams associated with a MySQL Workbench model file.  This could take one of many forms:

* A hierarchical folder-style organisation for diagrams (perhaps do not permit subfolders, or at most 1 level of subfolders, to stop this from becoming unwieldy?)
* A 'label' based system, plus a filter to show diagrams only that have XYZ label in the UI
* Something else entirely?

The use-case for it is to provide some logical grouping for diagrams from the users' perspective.  For example, a user might want to create a number of diagrams all related to a specific task.  A grouping mechanism would allow them to visually & logically keep all of the diagrams related to that task together and separate from diagrams that have a different purpose.

How to repeat:
