@drawkcab@hachyderm.io I just remember unfortunate people in a CAD class I attended a few years ago here in Dublin (all of whom had some kind of disability) having to key in this cargo-cult double Return combo in AutoCAD.
The sed situation (being able to format a regex as 's#foo#fu#' instead of 's/foo/fu/', with no further configuration or fuss) is just a case where delimiters get out of the way.

@theohonohan@graphics.social fair enough. I think MIME multipart has a similar approach, since it has to cope with separating arbitrary files the delimiter is also arbitrary
