I reflexively chose the word "separator" for the name of the character(s) that go between words in the passphrases.

-s, --sep <SEPARATOR>
          Word separator. Can accept single quotes around the separator. To not use a separator, use empty single quotes: '' [default: -]

However, I noticed that xkcdpass uses the term "delimiter". Is that more correct/natural/memorable for users? Delimiter sounds slightly more technical than separator to me. I could also maybe use an alias so that users can use either? But that feels a bit sloppy.

What do y'all think?
