+18. It is now possible to use newline and other control characters (those with
+ values less than 32, plus DEL) as separators in lists. Such separators must
+ be provided literally at the time the list is processed, but the string
+ expansion that happens first means that you can write them using normal
+ escape sequences. For example, if a new-line separated list of domains is
+ generated by a lookup, you can now process it directly by a line such as
+ this:
+
+ domains = <\n ${lookup mysql{.....}}
+
+ This avoids having to change the list separator in such data. Unlike
+ printing character separators, which can be included in list items by
+ doubling, it is not possible to include a control character as data when it
+ is set as the separator. Two such characters in succession are interpreted
+ as enclosing an empty list item.
