What if we call it a "quota group", with the rules that if a parent
directory has a quota group, any files or directories created in that
parent directory will inherit that quota group, and only processes
with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can change it.

And then what if we simply make the rule that if an inode has a quota
group, the quota is charged against two group id's; the group id named
in inode, and the quota group?

That is, do we really need to have a separate namespace for group ids
and "subtrees" or "namespaces"?  That means we don't have to change
the userspace quota tools and we can leverage the existing ways people
are used to managing group quotas.
