That's a reasonable requirement for a delimiter used for parsing, and I'm not 
suggesting that that not be a requirement for that.  But if it's a marker 
object so the caller can determine that no delimiter was determined, then 
it's still up to the caller to check for that and either not parse or deal 
with it some other way (ask the user, for instance).

I'm not sure it's a big deal, but that's my thought on the matter at any 
rate.  ;-)
