I find it quite amazing that so many people (admittedly all
programmeras) associate something that is merely a delimiter with
specific other languages.
I could be like that too and point out that everyone (in a different
software environment) would associate "//" with the start of a line of
JCL.
I just chose a simple double-characetr delimiter which I thought was
unlikely to turn up in criterion values. I deliberately avoided ||
because some people would then be confused over single/double use of
the | character.

Types? There's only one other type in AS isn't there?
