Problem is, that you have to use TABS as delimiters. I've been bitten by this before (I got around it with a grep that converted pipes to tabs inside the listwords). IMO extending listwords with "tabs=T" was a too-specific way to go about it. A generic "collapse=F" that would work with ANY delimiter (defaults or user-specified) would have been much more useful.
