If I were in your shoes, based on what others have said so far here, I
would create the config file just like that and write a dozen-line program
in the string-friendly language of your choice to preprocess it into what
you need whenever the groups change. That is the path to the least amount
of ongoing admin work until the software can do this on its own
In pseudocode:
read a line
does it have (@word)?
yes: replace @word with hashtable[word]
does it have (word) = (words)?
yes: store hashtable[word]=words
print line
