Myabe we'd best define in specific terms what this is. But I don't like the
idea pf custom item words at all. It's sort of like declaring variables as
a certain type -- we'd have to manage to remember what these delimiters
are, and it'd get to be a pain when they become complex.


I think I like:

        put item <expr> [delimited by <expr> or <expr> or...] [to [item] \
        <expr> [ delimited by <expr> or <expr> or...]] of <expr> into  \
        container

Which does not look all that bad to parse.
