[Andreas K. <and...@ac...>]

https://ronaldduncan.wordpress.com/2009/10/31/text-file-formats-ascii-delimited-text-not-csv-or-tab-delimited-text/

summary:
use ascii chars decimal 28-31 as separators, they are defined for that purpose
=> file, group, record, unit separators (in numerical order)

Compared to csv and tsv (comma, tab):
  units = fields,
  records = lines
