Hi everyone,
The following is copied from a debate about allowing line delimiters on
the MetaCard list:

A total of five people said they'd find this sort of ability useful, so
which syntax is best?
The first uses the word delimiter - very clear. The second is shorter
and feels intuitive. The third is the shortest and thus the easy to
write multiple times, but is very slightly less intuitive than the other
two. I can't decide which I prefer (yet). Anyone else?
Regards,
Kevin
