It's not like there's a huge option space given the need to avoid
characters that are need to be escaped if used from a shell, so the ','
character is probably the best going.

(I mean, I would have voted for '¥' for sure, but it's a bit hard for a
lot of people to type, y'know?)

To my own personal sense of aesthetics ',' seems ok if used in an URI
[whereas I personally find '+' about as horrid as they come]. Still,
against a forward slash it seems a bit weird:

This always has been a tough question. Really is a damn shame about ';',
'#', and '&'. Maybe YEN isn't so bad after all :)
