I'm not sure this is a good idea. There is no reason why application classes that require realtime or locked memory (audio, video, sdr,...) should all have the same limits. The way limits.conf works is that you can have any matrix of users/groups vs. limits. Accessing each individual limit (e.g. realtime) only via a single dedicated group (which seems to be the underlying idea) takes away that degree of freedom.
