[syslog-ng] [Bug 248] New: template parsing does not split ", " argument of --scope

[Balazs Scheidler]

Thanks for the report, these actually help a lot to refine the
documentation.

Regarding the comma, iirc it works when using the value pairs definition
with the config file syntax and not when using the command line syntax.
This could and should be fixed in the code instead of the documentation.

Anyone volunteering with a patch? Should be easy.
