Yep, that was my first idea too. You would copy an existing data type,
and modify just the _input_ routine to handle input with no delimiters.
I would simply add the delimiters and pass the string to the original
input function; it really isn't that much work. The only downside is
that you have to create/use a custom data type for this.
