NaturalLanguageList ideas
Options are still slightly confusing, ideas: Feel free to ignore me completely or partly, I always waste too much time on trivial choices. Conrad.Irwin 03:09, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * rename itemcover=/itemoutput= to format= - easier to remember.
 * calculate fieldsperitem from format= - one less thing for the user to type. (should be possible to count the $i's)
 * make duplicates default to false, that way any value passed to duplicates=/blanks= can be treated as true (saves having to parse a boolean option in all languages)
 * (possibly: change separator= to comma= and lastseparator= to and= - easier to type and more fun :)
 * change #data: to data=, and #ignore: to ignore= (i.e. the user has to say |ignore=a|ignore=b) easier for us to process and less surprising than "magic" syntax (maybe also less pretty though).
