Indeed, but there is a common sense. The idea behind (multi-line) definitions
that when next time somebody will add an element in the array, there are will
be:

a) no additional churn (like in case of this patch, if the item will be added
   at the bottom;

b) an element that may not be added behind the terminator, which will look
   weird.

That said, the question is if the element is terminator one or not, if not,
comma is better than no comma and vise versa.
