I actually was browsing code, found that it's complex and though "can't we 
ditch this feature".

In fact, some ambiguity is really possible if we try to specify free feature 
with ',' in it. But in that case we can just check if feature is free or not, 
and declare that comma separated values are not allowed for free features.
