Several of us did, including me.
Did you find @group in the man page anywhere? I only
remembered it off the top of my head.
No, there don't exist any variable like "@group" in /etc/group. The data
in /etc/group lines where format is:
group_name:password:GID:user_list
It has been in over 40 years in Unix and ever since Linux where born.
