UTILSLIB::SelectionIO converts between two text-based grouping formats that mne-cpp's GUI tools and command-line pipelines hand back and forth with sibling toolchains:

• MNE .sel — one selection group per line, holding the channels visible in a given montage ("Left-temporal", "All MEG", ...); shared with mne-python and mne-c.
• Brainstorm .mon — one montage definition per file, used by the Brainstorm GUI for the same purpose.

Both directions are supported (single-file .sel, fanned- out .mon set) and both QString and std::string overloads exist so the parser can be used from the Qt GUI layer and from headless tests without a string conversion.
