Module:Separated entries

 -- This module takes positional parameters as input and concatenates them with
 -- an optional separator. The final separator (the "conjunction") can be
 -- specified independently, enabling natural-language lists like
 -- "foo, bar, baz and qux". The starting parameter can also be specified.
