Well, sure, and that's not really totally sufficient by itself, but
it's the reasoning behind having that stuff space-separated, as near
as I can tell.

Well, how about passing things through a script of your own that
re-groks stuff (adding \s before spaces and making everything comma
separated) before passing it off to a (modified, to deal with comma
separate) log_accum, then? (Should be easy to do the latter. Just
split on ',' rather than the default '[whitespace]'.)

(Is that off the wall for some important reason I'm missing at 5:30
am, local time?)
