Hi,

According to the documentation, the section delimiter consists of at
least two characters, and if you omit the second character when using
-d/--section-delimiter, the second character is implied to be ':'.
However, this doesn't seem to be the case in nl 9.3 if I provide a
single non-ASCII char:

$ printf "a\n=C3=A4:\nb" | nl -d=C3=A4
    1  a
    2  =C3=A4:
    3  b

If I add the ':' manually, I get the expected output:

$ printf "a\n=C3=A4:\nb" | nl -d=C3=A4:
    1  a

      b

Regards,
Daniel
