Comment (by danielbuth):

 In addition to custom separators, I second the notion that one should be
 able to toggle the parsing feature. In fact, there are instances with
 heavily extended and managed taxonomies, where editors should not be able
 to register ''any'' new terms at all during the edit. I have a bunch of
 use cases right now, that would – if they were more taxonomy-heavy –
 quickly evolve into a maintenance race with the authors, ever accelerating
 as the taxonomy increases in size; and one particular project of mine in
 the pipeline for 2020 definitely ''will''.

 Is there any chance to interest contributors in this? I will be able to
 help out with anything PHP related (as little as it may be in this case),
 once I finish reading up on how to use this platform properly.

 Until then, here are two suggestions for someone to perhaps pick up:
 - WP_Taxonomy needs a new public $separator = ','.
 - WP_Taxonomy::set_props() needs a new $default 'separator' => ',' in line
 255.

 On a last note: Is **'needs-refresh'** even applicable anymore or should
 we move straight back to **'needs-patch'** at this point?
