Only the OP knows exactly what the delimiter rule is — any occurrence of AAA
and BBB, or as words, or as complete lines … — so the best way to code the
delimiters isn’t clear, but aside from that, I agree completely. Using pre- and
post-assertions to match just the string to be removed is certainly overkill
for this problem.
