 The PHP array functions are quicker and potentially more robust in
 filtering the fields than would be a regex replace.  Most people using
 that filter would probably split the string into an array, do their
 business, and join it back together as a string, anyways.  Other comma-
 delimited things-to-be-filtered are handled similarly throughout WP.  I'm
 just suggesting that if we're going to introduce a new filter it should be
 consistent with other filters and convenient for developers, but yeah, it
 doesn't really matter that much.
