Yes.  But it is easier to navigate to the relevant part in a smaller
file, and easier to do the right thing.  And, as I said, it will only
break one group, and not all of them.

But anyway, the most important thing is to separate the tick marks from
this stuff:

Actually, the manually edited stuff could all still continue to exist in
a single file.  It isn't a huge amount of stuff compared to the tick
marks, so it could be nicely formatted and more human readable (and
version control system friendly).
