Yup, I was looking for other places we allow a list syntax, I only
found fds=a:b:...:z, which is also used for vhostfds=.  I didn't find a
property beyond the string type to hold this though.

Do you have a syntax you'd propose for this?  I'm having trouble seeing
how it makes things simpler.  Thanks,
