Regarding #7721, it turns out that it needs all kinds of edge case handling and other aspects to work properly, so here is a PR to supersede it.
Original Description:
Comm order types (that is, the list of things that can be messaged -- ships, wings, reinforcements, etc.) are now no longer a fixed list. Of the eight possible types, the modder may specify an arbitrary list in arbitrary order, with text specified in the table.
This was to facilitate the addition of two new types, All Fighters and All Bombers -- as distinct from the retail type typically called All Fighters, which is really "all fighters and bombers". (All player-facing retail naming remains as default.) My experience as a player suggests that these new options will be extremely useful.
