I have questions to the syntax:

How does it scale on specifying multiple modules and how will you pass
arguments to _each_ module ?

The current syntax seems to be limited in passing arguments
only to the _first_ module.

Since multiboot lines tend to become very long lines, is it possible
to split it over multiple lines in boot.cfg ?
