Summary: Support generation of choice separator in inline simplelist

Initial Comment:
When a simplelist is rendered inline, it is rendered
without a conjunction before the final member.

For example:

  This release adds localiation support for the
  following Indic languages: Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil,
  Oriya, Gujarati.

In many langugage (English for example), that looks
strange. It would be better to provide an option to
have a conjunction generated before the final member.

  This release adds localiation support for the
  following Indic languages: Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil,
  Oriya, and Gujarati.

Furthermore, it would be better if the generated
conjuction were appropriate for the logical
relationship between the items in the list; example:

  You must select from ONE and only ONE of the
  following choices: A, B, C, or D.

The "choice separator" should be localized. (For
example, "ou" instead of "or" in French-localized
output. Or as a temporary workaround, a means should be
provided for allowing users to supply and literal
string to use as the choice separator for a list.
