*shudder*
I've complained about this format before.
The reason for this form is (apparently) to make it easier to comment things
out during debugging:
constant
alpha=120
-- , beta=26
, gamma=1382
The it solves the problem that if the *last* item were commented out, the
code would work fine. But that just means the *first* item will error if you
comment it out.
When I run into this sort of situation, I just add a dummy item to the end
of the list:
constant
alpha=120,
beta=26,
gamma=1382,
JUNK = 0
I don't think it's necessary to change the syntax for something like this.
