I doubt that it matters in either case.
I noticed the change on compile quite some time ago.
The parameter code is the same (deli, yum) the only difference
is the type class (delimiter: anything, delimiters: list).
To clarify: the parameter code is 'deli'...I added the yummy sound.
I've never had much luck with the extra parameters in the read command,
I gave up after having no success with "as record" or "as list", although
there are some coercions that do work...
I use AppleScript's tids. A long time ago I assumed that since one big
part of the command seemed broken I'd rather use a method I that I know
works rather than continue banging the forehead on the desk trying to get
read to work the way I expect.
