+1.

Having users sweat of comma placement in this day and age is pretty stupid. I can understand why we wouldn't want to
breakbackwards compatibility, but I think it does us and our users a disservice to dismiss the issue.
 

(BTW, I use a "comma first" formatting standard, so this doesn't actually effect me much, but I still find the original
complaintvery valid.)
