--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
No, using 'Other' with a multiple character separators is then collapsed using
the 'Merge delimiters' checkbox.

Caveat is that if you use or work with strings that actually contain the
separator character alone it would parse each out as additional columns.  But
any utf-8 Unicode codepoint can be used, not limited to ASCII so make a good
choice.

And unfortunately there is no awk/nawk style "string" separator; the Merge
delimiter does not act on the string--just each character of the string. 

But that would be an RFE
