As a first step, maybe just adding an xargs-style "--null/-0" to treat input as NUL-separated instead of whitespace-separated would be worthwhile? The options list is kinda full, single-letter-alias-wise; I see no obvious place to put a more general '--delimiter' (-d and -D and -f and -F and -s and -S are all taken). Also, allowing specification of an arbitrary delimiter would seem to open up another can of character-encoding worms. -- Mark J.
