I wonder if it wouldn't be better to not allow so many delimiters but just double the delimiter.
I was first going to do just that but it became apparent that a choice of delimiter was needed because of the probability that the text being encode could contain it. Also, parsing it is just slightly slower.
For instance, this would fail...
sequence s = #// The URL is http://www.rapideuphoria.com //

Further, provide a "stripping" delimiter,
sequence s = #@@ abc, def abc, def @@ -- "abc, def\n abc, def"
When the stripping delimiter is used, all the white space of the first string is stripped from subsequent lines.
I also toyed with this one too, but it fails when the first line is meant to to be indented.
sequence s = #@ __ abc, def abc, def @
should display as
abc, def abc, def
