That puts multiple addresses on the same line, delimited by commas. But commas
can also occur in comments, so I would have to go to some trouble to parse the
output. Is there a variant that would put each address on on a separate line?
I tried sprinkling '\n's in your format string, to no avail.

I could try to RTFM, i.e. to read and understand the man page for mh-format,
but I've been hoping to die before that.
