Thanks for the suggestion. Indeed it's similar to my idea, even if it
isn't drag&droppable. However the thing I don't like in OO.o is that
the whole thing is a lot like a normal textbox with textual tokens -
the thing I'm trying to avoid. I agree about the need for different
separators, especially in the read from filenames interface, I can
squeeze it in with a customizable drag&droppable separator token so -
no problem.
