Some commands already do (it's autodetected if items are |- or <crlf> separated).
E.g. tagitems()
The help file states for these commands:

CRLF- or |-separated list of items (full path) to tag.

But most don't. E.g. delete. It would simplify the usage of all these commands if I don't need to
remember if it just accepts |-separated ones or not.

Why all the fuss? It's way easier to debug lists of "do something with me" when they
are <crlf> separated and I wouldn't need any conversions to feed them to commands
that only accept "|" ones. It would spare you from adding a separator= flag...

If you considering this, I'd compile a list of commands that would need this enhancement...

Yes, please, a list would help.

attrstamp()
