I use [999] as a delimiter. You don't have to be "fairly sure" that you'll never use that
character; it doesn't exist, so you'll never use it -- guaranteed. Just input it as you would
any character, by number. I don't have the factory-issue KBD file with me (XY4.KBD), but its
probably something like Alt-Ctrl-9-9-9.
