@Gary & @Russ
I haven’t read the CF9 documentation yet. Since you said it is undocumented, then I agree with you both. It’s a bug.
Thanks for commenting.
I’d like to take this opportunity to ask your permission to translate articles of your blogs into Portuguese, so I can post them on our Brazilian ColdFusion blog (whith credits, of course) http://ensina.me/coldfusion.
Thanks.

It is true that Adobe added an additional param to arraytolist called multiCharacterDelimiter (which defaults to false). But that is not the problem, the problem is simply with curly braces, and since there has been no mention of a limitation on what can be used for a delimiter it definitely should be considered a bug.

differences in behavior from one version to another should be minimized to maintain backwards compatibility, be when behaviour changes it MUST be documented to prevent migration problems.

not documented = bug or is it a “feature”
