@drawkcab@hachyderm.io sed has alternative delimiters and they're handy when you need to use the usual delimiter as a literal character. Maybe you are familiar with that.
The difference there might be that the rigid syntax takes care of defining the delimiter character, just from its position, whereas setting up TECO appears to be more complicated

@theohonohan@graphics.social yes its more about the least bad in band signalling. Multiple CRs are semantically equivalent to one . ASCII 28-31 are also perfectly good delimiter characters that nobody has ever used.
