Thanks for the patch.

I agree with Raf: I don't see why %G would be special compared to the other
format directives.  Hence adding a separate -printf example to each of
them would more distract from the topic than help.

Well, one never knows if someone might check on a single file.
Creativity is key, e.g.

   if test "$(id -g)" != "$( find "$MYFILE" -maxdepth 0 -printf '%G' )"; then
     echo "not my group"
   fi

Still, I think adding an example just to %G directive is not that much of help.

Have a nice day,
