Which is not what the standard function did read like, but I see your 
point. Perhaps this function should be split in two versions, one for 
external acl communication, another for general "list of words" parsing.

Historically the function came from the external acl implementation but 
then found more uses. And today external acl is moving away from using 
this function in favor for URL escaped strings (default in Squid-3, also 
supported by Squid-2.5)
