        names in an existing group with a new collection of item names. An
        implementation should support the following data types:

        <li>an empty `any` to remove all items and leave the
        group empty. The group can be filled later with new item names.</li>

        containing elements that provide an item name per element via the
        interface com::sun::star::container::XNamed,

        field group with the passed collection of item names. An
        implementation should support the same data types as described above
        for the method
        com::sun::star::container::XNameReplace::replaceByName().</p>
