shouldn't need semicolons to separate field properties #6

Right now to use lquantize, you do something like this:

dn scan-file -b 'operation,latency[aggr=lquantize;step=10]'

This sucks because the semicolon is interpreted by the shell, so you have to quote the whole thing. We should let you use commas there instead. (The reason you can't is just laziness: we split the whole string on commas first and then parse each field separately, but that does the wrong thing for commas inside square brackets.)
