Well, not really, but we could explore it... I think a GSH command might also 
do the trick, if someone can give me an exact use case I can try to work it 
out...
Maybe the following could be done without a group type hook (though in 
UI/loader it is more useful to have group type and hook), for GSH, just a:

gsh 1% convertToIncludeExcludeGroups("penn:courses:%", 
convertToIncludeExcludeGroups.INTERACTIVE);

Create include and exclude groups for this group? penn:courses:course123 
(y/n): y
Create include and exclude groups for this group? penn penn:courses:course124 
(y/n): y
Create include and exclude groups for this group? penn 
penn:courses:math:course125 (y/n): n
Create include and exclude groups for this group? penn penn:courses:course126 
(y/n): y

gsh 2% convertToIncludeExcludeGroups("penn:orgs:org%:orgGroup%");
The following groups were converted:
penn:orgs:org123:orgGroupA
penn:orgs:org124:orgGroupB
penn:orgs:org126:orgGroupC

gsh 3%
