2) Consistent naming: GAR has a suffix way of declaring things

(PKGFILES_, CATALOGNAME_, ...), which i think we should be consistent
with when it comes to new features.
The reason why I wrote USERGROUP_mytweaks_USER instead of
USERGROUP_USER_mytweaks is because the latter suggests that there's
"the" user for USERGROUP. Perhaps it's just me. I don't insist,
anyway, I just think it's more intuitive, because it follows the logic
of getting from the general to the specific: first, I know I'm going
to do something with users and groups; second, I know I'm going to
have a name for a specific tweak I'm doing; and third, I know what
specifics is my tweak going to have.
Right, but OTOH we currently have two types of variables with
expansions in it: <var>_<expansion> for most of them and
<var>_<modvar1>-<val1>-<modvar2>-<val2>-... for modulations.
Introducing <expansion> in the middle makes it clearer in
one thing and more irregular in another thing. I would
prefer regularity over intuitivity.
Best regards
