Although it may be good to note that command line length does not really play a role in this case, since "for" is a shell keyword and not an external command, so the length of the list should be more or less limited by memory...
There have been so many posts from AIX users (to name but a few O/S versions and variants and for the benefit of @jlliagre that includes many versions of SunOS/Solaris!) who hit this problem that I would love that the
for var in <open ended list> syntax would become a syntax error.
Somehow I knew that this thread was going to be fun.
Great posts @jgt, @alister and @Scrutinizer.

alter_group
ALTER
GROUP(7) SQL Commands ALTER GROUP(7)
NAME
ALTER GROUP - change role name or membership
SYNOPSIS
ALTER GROUP groupname ADD USER username [, ... ]
ALTER GROUP groupname DROP USER username [, ... ]
ALTER GROUP groupname RENAME TO newname
DESCRIPTION
ALTER GROUP changes the attributes of a user group. This is an obsolete command, though still accepted for backwards compatibility,
because groups (and users too) have been superseded by the more general concept of roles.
The first two variants add users to a group or remove them from a group. (Any role can play the part of either a ``user'' or a ``group''
for this purpose.) These variants are effectively equivalent to granting or revoking membership in the role named as the ``group''; so the
preferred way to do this is to use GRANT [grant(7)] or REVOKE [revoke(7)].
The third variant changes the name of the group. This is exactly equivalent to renaming the role with ALTER ROLE [alter_role(7)].
PARAMETERS
groupname
The name of the group (role) to modify.
username
Users (roles) that are to be added to or removed from the group. The users must already exist; ALTER GROUP does not create or drop
users.
newname
The new name of the group.
EXAMPLES
Add users to a group:
ALTER GROUP staff ADD USER karl, john;
Remove a user from a group:
ALTER GROUP workers DROP USER beth;
COMPATIBILITY
There is no ALTER GROUP statement in the SQL standard.
