If this is meant to answer my first question, I didn't understand your 
response.

Let me try a more concrete question:

Example 1. -vf "hflip, vflip"

Example 2. -vf "hflip; vflip"

Is there a functional difference between example 1 and example 2?

 From reading your filter description, I believe the output of both 
examples
is exactly the same.
