Sounds like a good solution. Note that the post processing can transform
the delimiter pretty arbitrarily, so there's no need for it to be the same
at both ends. This may allow a choice of two things that're even less

This is an excellent idea.

Yes, I'll clean up my code as per other suggestions, document it, and
