Huh... having a comma-separated list to represent multiple characters. I can't think of any problems with that, and it would be marginally easier for some sequences...

Unless someone on the design team objects, I'd say let's go for it.
Larry was certainly in favour of it when he wrote A5
(see under http://search.cpan.org/perl6/apo/A05.pod#Backslash_Reform).
Except the separators he suggests are semicolons:

    Perl 5              Perl 6
    \x0a\x0d            \x[0a;0d]               # CRLF
    \x0a\x0d            \c[CR;LF]               # CRLF (conjectural)
