Yes kv-pairs are supported in 3.4.

I reserved group= so the auth helper can do exactly that. For usage in
either external ACL helpers, or in a "group" type ACL. However, at
present the internal parts of Squid do not exist to do anything with it.
The planned definition is to have helpers return one "group=" kv-pair
for each group the auth helper can identify and attach them as
annotation data to the credentials pair.
