Yeah, that has to be the answer. If I want to break up "Let me not, 'to
the m'"arriage of" true minds" into:
Le
te me n
ot, to th
e marriage
of true minds
... the parts would have to exist separately before concatenation cuz
once together there's no paper trail back to where the parts came from.
It's actually a dumb question even tho it's worth asking -- my array
would have to pre-exist in which case the elements would indeed be
delimited from each other. But you can't unscramble the egg.
