Could CMAKE_MODULE_PATH be treated as a colon-separate list of paths that are

It is already a list:

 set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH /some/path /some/other/path)
 list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH /some/third/path)

Thanks, Brad, for that information.  That's going to help a lot in the
language support transition between 2.6.x and 2.8.x.

The documentation in 2.8.1-RC3 currently says this about CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

 CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
      Path to look for cmake modules to load.

      Specifies a path to override the default search path for CMake
      modules.  For example include commands will look in this path first
      for modules to include.

Could you add a few words to make clear that CMAKE_MODULE_PATH is a list?
