closedPlease document that Interface Groups not to be used with multi-wan

Description
Hello,
I spent the better part of a day trying to figure out why some firewall rules I added to a WANS interface group (Wan1 + Wan2) were not working. Eventually came across a post saying interface groups are not to be used with multi-wan and that they are really meant for BGP/failover with interfaces.
Would be great if this was clearly documented and users warned, because it is sorely tempting to use that feature for multi-wan to cut down on redundancy of rule entry.
The 2.1 pfsense book shows an example of an interface group with LAN + WAN (not clear how that's useful) and doesn't properly specify the correct scenarios where interface groups should be used.
Thanks!

If you follow the help link ("?" in the shortcut bar) from that page, it is documented there.

I added a more obvious link as well.
