bancus just pointed out that that may not mean what I thought it
meant. I was taking "The text between the delimiters should be treated
as the single token 'any_words_697'." to mean "all the text between the
delimiters, including the delimiters themselves", but that's probably
not the most natural reading.
Does anyone have strong evidence one way or the other? I think bancus is
probably right, meaning that that sentence *should* fail.
