Remember the first time you had to do this and thought it was incredibly
stupid how you had to escape commas and spaces?  Well, nobody will think
that anymore.

What changed was in the process of making the comma the real separator,
we made the insane amount of escaping go away completely.  Yes, it's a
one-time PITA that you have to change this, but it's wonderful for all of the
people who come to Asterisk starting with 1.6 and never have to have seen
the ugly amount of escaping.
