Probably, yes. Throw it together in a testing config file and try it
out, and update the FAQ if necessary.

I don't know how well it would work, but if you're looking up multiple
values in many files you're probably better off sorting and
concatenating them and sticking them in a cdb file or SQL database and
only doing a single lookup. Some minor pre-processing then removes the
need for such magic foo and would probably speed up and simplify the
configuration.
