I first thought that this request is about Type:Record, but it actually is
about multiple items in a list. The name of the parameter should really be
changed now that this type is available in SMW. Part of what you suggest has
been planned for some time now: ?printouts can now have parameters like "limit"
and one could have a parameter "sep" for printouts to define how they separate
their items. Unfortunately, this would need to be taken into account
individually in all printouts since it is hard to unify the code.

Now for lists, there is a second type of "," separator: the one that is used
between the results generated by each printout. Unfortunately, both separators
are unified in the current code, but they are logically not the same. I think
this latter kind of separator is closer to the parameter you suggest.

I wonder if it is good to have the "( ... )" if a separator is set. Or should
the display just be of the form:

<1st column> <your-sep> <2nd column> <your-sep> ... <your-sep> <last-column>

Where the column text is the property name (unless disabled), and the list of
values possibly with another custom separator in between. So the default "( ...
)" would go away in this case, and the whole format would look more like a
table.
