We could just as easily normalize the separator:
That's true and would be the "src" way of solving it, rather than the
"doc" way of describing what to do.
I've seen instances where people even did "wheel, operator" (extra
whitespace after the ",").
Yes, and my proposed change handles that transparently.
Alright, then let's do that to let the script be a bit more robust and
user-friendly at the same time.
I think when we actually tell people what to use as the separator,
then we don't have to account for all kinds of varieties that users
come up with to separate the groups (semicolons?).
Why not both? We can easily support colons and semicolons as well:
$ echo "foo, bar:baz; quux" | tr -s ':;,' ' '
foo bar baz quux
Great, I like that. So we remove my addition again or how do we handle it?
