I feel like it's way too much freedom, choosing any word I want as the
delimiter!  I never really know what to use.  I've been using "gy" a
lot because it's what I learned years & years ago; I think the idea
was that "gy" made sense to quote "glico" text.  Right now I feel like
I'm leaning towards using "zoi" as a delimiter more, since it already
has a sense of quotation in it, & I like the sound of "zoi zoi"!
