Or perhaps,
Something a little more explicit might work? In instances such as the ifconfig lines, it's to create eth0 aliases (such as eth0:0), so perhaps that could look like:

ifconfig_eth0:0 = "10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_eth0:1 = "10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"

        For uses that really do require a list (such as modules), something 
like:

modules = "wpa_supplicant", "ifconfig"

or redefinition:

modules = "wpa_supplicant"
modules = "ifconfig"

might work? If the comma separated syntax is acceptable, it may be that brackets around it are acceptable too, in which case the bash syntax is fine. If the normal shells will still require *some* form of processing to deal with the list, could they not be given processing to deal with lists that bash already has builtin?
