Well, you can also use "I_AM_A_DELIMITER" as delimiter, or anything else you 
can think of, just make sure that your list doesn't contain your delimiter. 
The [ and ( are special in that they expect ] and ) at the end instead of [ 
and (. Maybe I should add '{' to the expections as well.

That doesn't work if you have a function that takes two lists as arguments.
