Personally, I like the leading delim as well, e.g., if someone is doing
work for the national parks and has account NP ;) or is doing something
for Pennsylvania with account PA (somehow forgetting to use BSEPA ;) .

(I was concerned about the use of "/" as a delimiter, but the feature
that hides "passwords" on $stdlists is smart enough to see that with
more than a single slash, the string can't be a password.)
