It's fairly dep specific; that's effectivelly foo|bar when you think
about it; it multiplies out to dep:foo? ( that block ) dep:bar? ( that
block ) in a dumb PM (smarter one just leaves the tree collapsed and
filters as it goes).
Phrased another way, I'm not sure we really need shorthand for the
following:
x? ( blah )
y? ( blah )
z? ( blah )
into
x,y,z? ( blah )
It's a rare case; I could only foresee that potentially being of use
for arch flags; ie, amd64,x86? ( blah ); which I'd write as
"arch:amd64,x86? ( blah )" personally since I don't like the notion of
introducing ',' into raw, non use group flags.
That said, I don't hugely care; people think it's useful, then have at
it.
