I suspect that's more likely that we'll introduce shell functions in new features than start right away in replacing old code with shell functions. This process has already started. At some point it will gather steam but it might be a bit early right now. In the meantime maybe we should use '|' instead of ','. That would be a simple workaround. In practice, '|' is far less likely to occur in filenames than ',' is.
