[Dnsmasq-discuss] multiple dhcp-options with the same tag

Dnsmasq is working fine, this is not a question about how to get it working,
it is about the syntax in dnsmasq.conf.

My second post[1] provides a more complete example of the technique
I'm using, appending multiple options into one dhcp-option, in dnsmasq.conf.
And I'm just wondering if that technique is actually supported because I didn't
see it documented.
