array1={ma, mb, ... mz}

comma separated lists are used at several spots
but usage really depends on the problem to be solved

This presumes that you actually know the list of enabled modes, so
I think a commalist of set modes would be useful as well. Modules
could use that to set up keyword-based behaviours.

there is already such a mechanism (thomas uses it in his module)
maybe at some point in mkiv we can provide the list because then i can
use lua for keeping track of things; maintaining a comma separated list
is tex is not that fast (and i use modes a lot to control styles that
need a high performance); think of
\enablemode[a,b,c]
and a large list of enabled modes that we need to check for already set
nodes (in lua it's just a hash and a the fill list a list-of-keys)
btw, this would make mkiv incompatible with mkii
