Don't know if this is a good idea, but can we scan the text string and
dynamically choose a delimiter that does not appear in the string?  We
need to have some delimiter candidates to choose from, and have to spend
some extra CPU cycles to scan the string, which can be assumed short??

I got the following error on my MacBook:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined

--- TeX said ---
(inputenc)                in inputencoding `utf8'.

See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              

l.43   \verb.§
              bladibla.§
--- HELP ---
From the .log file...

You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText 
or \DeclareInputMath before using this key.
