I dont know if it would be generally useful, but a tiny little tweak to
tag editing in order to allow "," as a seperator when typing in tags via
C-c C-q TAB "free entry" interface. "," is certainly easier for me to
use but I dont know about the ramifications of it as a legal character
in a tag name.

I replaced space too but that isnt currently allowed anyway.
