Format text data records for processing in Livecode

I am missing the point of using an ephemeral and unknown string as an
itemDelimiter. The whole point of such a gadget is that it can be used at
another time to undo, or redo, whatever data parsing was done earlier.

Is it that the delimiter is stored somewhere, and just for security it is
generated in an unpredictable way? But that it still can be recalled as
needed? But then, as described, that several unique delimiters in quick
succession may be created and used, are these stored as well for future use?

In other words, if a delimiter is created somehow, and data is parsed into
items defined by that delimiter, is there any purpose in NOT saving it
somewhere?
