[portmanteau, delimiter + eliminate] A string or pattern used
to delimit text into fields, but which is itself eliminated from
the resulting list of fields. This jargon seems to have
originated among Perl hackers in connection with the Perl split()
function; however, it has been sighted in live use among Java and
even Visual Basic programmers.
