This could be read as suggesting it allows assert(a,b) which it
doesn't. (And formally, the commas still separate the macro arguments
as far as the preprocessor is concerned, so the arguments don't
"contain" the commas. That's super-pedantic though.)

Maybe "now accepts expressions that contain commas, e.g. within
template argument lists, without requiring them to be enclosed in
parentheses"?
