Thanks for that. You are right,

"8.1 … Commas and unmatched parentheses or braces cannot appear in
the text of an argument
as written; leading spaces cannot appear in the text of the
first argument as written. These
characters can be put into the argument value by variable
substitution."

and

$(subst this,that,this is  a,      text)

are clearly at odds with each other. FAO make community, is
there a case for addition of a clause that highlights the
catch-all nature of the final argument of some of the built-in
functions?
