At least my reading of the man page doesn't suggest that. Multiple selectors may be specified for a single action by separating them with semicolon (``;'') characters. It is important to note, howev- er, that each selector can modify the ones preceding it. Multiple facilities may be specified for a single level by separating them with comma (``,'') characters. The section about the RHS is more wordy, but the only valid seperator mentioned is a comma. My vote is to change the code, failing that, the comment in the PR would be a good start.
