It sets the squid security group GID to that group. Regardless of what
the system has configured.

While the UID/GID pair must still be linked at the OS level. It does
very effectively prevent squid accessing other resources (such as
SELinux service groups, winbind auth privileges, shared logging groups,
etc) which the system admin might need to give Squid access.

For people who don't need to use it explicitly or overlook how it works,
it produces some weird permission side effects they don't usually expect.
