I agree it's ugly, especially the @@, but there is precedent for the use of
@ as a netgroup name prefix (Linux NFS exports) and it does have the merit
of avoiding accidents where a name that wasn't intended to be a netgroup
gets interpreted as one (perhaps because someone poisoned the nscd cache,
or something of that sort). All in all, I'd vote for keeping it despite
its ugliness.
