Documentation Error

[Mark Musone]

Ahh..yep..good point.

Funny you mention it, because when I was writing a performance-parser
script, I remember having to add in an optional comma separator code
because of that...i wonder if some plugins actually do send a comma
separator..

The problem with the example is that the delimiter shown is a ',' where
