Feature Request: White List groups or groupings

It would be useful to be able to turn off white list entries. That is suspend them or move them to an inactive list.
Further; It would be useful to be able to group entries in the white list and then suspend or move the entire group as one to inactive.
This is particularly useful for such sites that have classified content that should not be accessed mistakenly.
Please advise if this is at all possible.

You already have the ability to just remove site(s) from the whitelist. NoScript is a security tool, and from a security standpoint either you trust a site or you don't... there is no half-trust. (
FAQ 1.11)
On the Internet, a bad guy needs only one chance and they've pwned you and that is that.
No real reason to have a list of "sites in my whitelist that I want to behave like aren't whitelisted". The concept makes no sense.

Those sites will require authentication or just give you 403 Forbidden or something like that, when you try to access "classified content" "mistakenly". Or else they have serious bug
on their end.
It will not be related to whether you allow its scripts or not.
NoScript is not intended to help with this type of thing, nor is a browser extension capable of doing so at all for that matter as that is purely a server-side deal.
