<para>Backslash is supported to escape the separators ';' and ',', and to express special
characters such as newline ('\n'), tabulator ('\t'), whitespace ('\s') and backslash ('\\'). The globbing of
interface names cannot be escaped. Whitespace is taken literally so usually the specs will be concatenated
without spaces.</para></listitem>
interface names cannot be escaped. Whitespace is not a separator but will be trimmed between
two specs (unless escaped as '\s').
