I'm not sure this is correct, as there is only one man page for the
groups program. Why should its man page be referenced as plural?

This syntax looks wrong to me. Seems it would create a /var/tmp
dir but not /tmp.

What is gained here other than two keystrokes less at the expense
of a much more complex syntax? Is it worth it?

Ditto earlier.

Ditto earlier.
