That works because the standard host list checking function is used. It
will continue to work.

From the manual:

20.4 Format of the list of hosts

A list of hosts, whether obtained via "route_data" or "route_list", is always
separately expanded before use. If the expansion fails, the router declines.
The result of the expansion must be a colon-separated list of names and/or IP
addresses. IP addresses are not enclosed in brackets.
