That's one way to go. I've chosen to stay away from patching the driver as
much as possible.

You'll find the latest version in
http://www.colargol.tihlde.hist.no/~franks/downloads/
But I must warn you that the package is not finished yet, and cannot be
until DGD supports a way of identifying unspecified (default) parameters
to functions..

It's been a while since I messed around with explode/implode in DGD, and I
don't have it available right yet. But from what I can recall adding
separators at the beginning and end of the string didn't work with strings
consisting of only separators, ie. implode(explode("1"+"1111"+"1", "1"),
"1"). But don't take my word for it, I need to test it when I get back in
DGD again..
Or if I remember even more correctly, maybe it did work for that instance,
but I made those explode/implode versions to use in other parsing too,
like word-wrapping. And needed the functions to return a bit more "saner"
results, not just results that implode worked reversibly correct on.
