comment about option formatting

[Kevin C. Miller]

I notice the server code has some comments about wanting to get 
around to implementing a true recursive parser for the dhcp option 
format language. I'll just mention, since I've just done that (albeit 
in Perl) for our network management software, that there is an issue 
with arrays / records, ie:

format: array of { text, array of ip-address }

in specifying the option, it's very difficult to determine (since 
records are just separated by spaces) what you actually mean when you 
say:
"foo" 10.1.1.1, 10.2.2.2, "bar" 10.3.3.3

Just a random thought that I'll throw out there...
