You can declare the same group in one place only. Anything else would mean you never know if the group is complete. Having part of a group in a separate file or Loader would lead to undefined behavior and data loss.
It's still very flexible I think. You can declare Settings in a separate file as long as it's imported where it's needed. Separate groups can be used - they can be put in a Loader without any risk. If you bind components to existing options they also don't need to be in the same file.
