Yeah, another user kindly contributed a patch back at the end of 2010
but I did not have time to
look to it, then forgot about it, and found it again a few months
later and thought it was
still a good time to apply it, many users tend to wait a few patch releases
before using GeoServer (and it would have affected only people using
commas among the
params, something I thought was unlikely):

I'm hoping to push out 2.1.2 sometimes this week or beginning of next

It's really easy. Say you have a sql view and you need to show
dynamically different portions of the
view with different colors. Or that you need to use the same parameter
in different views.
Before the patch you would have had to force the client to make
multiple requests, create overlays,
with this one you can have the same layer repeated multiple times in a
request and pass each instance
of it a different set of parameters (a similar reasoning applies to a
situation where you have the
same param in different views, maybe because you're following certain
naming conventions)
