In addition, it makes code harder to read because you have to keep in
mind constantly what the default itemDelimiter is when you see a line
of code that uses items. If substacks inherit a default delimiter then
this could cause problems. If they don't inherit, then this could also
cause problems.

If anything, I'd argue that things should be the other way around:
that there be *no* default itemDelimiter, and the use of items without
having explicitly defined the delimiter should result in a runtime
error.
