Well, since the configuration is in Lua, you can easily declare a list
and iterate over it.

We already have NetmaskGroup:addMasks() version that takes a slightly

I'm not sure it makes sense since it can already be done in Lua, and I
wouldn't want to end up with a fromFile() method for every object.
