--- Comment #16 from Steve Edmonds <steve at edmondsfamily.co.nz> ---
My thoughts are not to use terms that can be interpreted in different ways, the
actual term is not so important. The import specifies separation and
encapsulation of strings forming fields, I have never thought of these being
the same thing, i.e. delimiting strings. It would be interesting to know how
this is handled in other languages (l10 dept.)

A quick google on "delimiter", just a couple below. The first has always been
my understanding but obviously plenty of people agree with the second.

A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters used to specify the
boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text or other data
streams

In computer programming, a delimiter is a character that identifies the
beginning or the end of a character string
