 No, I am sure you can define groups with modules. You can 
 set up the output of the module to be:

 +Class1
 -Class2
 =group1=a:b:c:d
 =group2=x:y:z

 I know that this works. 


 % I'd be really nice to be able to say

 %  groups:
 %    g3_compute_nodes = ( HostRange(g3n,1,35) )

Then I would suggest writing the HostRange module and trying it out. 


 % instead of
 % 
 %   g3_compute_nodes =   ( g3n01 g3n02 g3n03 g3n04 g3n05 g3n06
 %     g3n07 g3n08 g3n09 g3n10 g3n11 g3n12 g3n13 g3n14 g3n15 g3n16
 %     g3n17 g3n18 g3n19 g3n20 g3n21 g3n22 g3n23 g3n24 g3n25 g3n26
 %     g3n27 g3n28 g3n29 g3n30 g3n31 g3n32 g3n33 g3n34 g3n35 g3n35 )
