I don't like the use of commas and semicolons, and you just made the error
here that I was worried about. A semicolon has a higher "precedence" than
a comma, if you will, and is used to separate clauses. You used a
semicolon between linux;windows in the above example, then commas between
the other clauses, but forgot on the magic_sauce and cpu_min_max clauses.

IMHO we should use commas to separate the various values, and semicolons
in between the keys.

Thoughts?
