Your response is normally so good that I expected to see a "Yes, it's done" post from you (forgetting entirely that it requires code to change, etc). Oh well, it'll still be nice if you and the powers that be decide it's a good feature for the next version.
I have, for the time being, selected //and\\ for my delimiters. Totally aberrant but it at least has the advantage of not requiring the shift keys.
