Description
If someone want to add a user to a specific group he has also to configure all the other groups the user should belong to for the account() command.
It would be nice to have an option that just appends the user to a new group.
current workaround is:
account "the-user",
groups => [ user_groups("the-user"), "the-new-group" ];

Research direction
Start by locating the Perl implementation and documentation for the account() command, then inspect how the groups option and user_groups("the-user") workaround are handled. Done means account() can append a user to one additional group without requiring all existing groups to be configured, while preserving the current behavior.
