Is it correct to interpret this statement to say that Mike's definition of the v parameter (or whatever it turns to be called) is a specialisation of the general case and it's "ordered list" processing is implemented at the required level.

It looks like my concern is not "new", it is good to see that there is already an issue capturing this.

In separate GitHub discussion, I saw you recommend that we move away from the style v="35,34" as that requires a micro-syntax definition for each parameter. I agree and it would seem to be better to address the issue in a more reusable way.
