Recursive searching for all group members

I am trying to find a way to get a space delimited list of all members (users) of a group. Because some groups contain groups, the searching needs to be recursive. AFAIK this cannot be done with the current search tools.

Any directions?

Sounds like a new functionality. Do you need that in a Plugin (aka new function in TWikiFuncModule) or in the topic text (aka new variable, something like %GETGROUP{ "Main.EngineeringGroup" }%)?

I need it in a topic text. It is to generate a list that can be copied to an apache access file.

GETGROUP seems ugly, as there are no parallel macros starting with GET. How about GROUP{}?

I think the name should reflect the output: a list of users. Something like GROUPMEMBERS?
