Hmm, I don't know... While the code change is small, and the code looks
good, I still find the feature a bit weird. I mean, then we should also
change other commands which take multiple arguments to accept comma
separated lists? Or is this because the configuration is done with
commas (due to the way the config format works, I guess)?

I guess it'll not mess things up for people used to the existing
behavior, but it still strikes me as a bit odd :-p. Let's see what
others think :-).
