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.
