/discover with_keywords only works with 1 keyword ID

Hi.
with_keywords - A comma separated list of keyword ID's. Only include movies that have one of the ID's added as a keyword.
I assume that means it will return any movie that has any of the keywords.

If the parameter is interpreted as Keyword and Keyword, that makes it very difficult to obtains the correct ID.

As per the docs, comma separated values are an "and" query, while a pipe separated values is an "or". It sounds like you're looking for an "or".
