It can't be done. The CF List functions / features interpret the delimiter
variable as a string of possible single-character delimiters, rather than as
a single multi-character delimiter, so to
ListFind("x,y|z","z",",|")
z is in the 3rd element
conversely, ListFind("x,y|z","y|z",",|") returns zero because there is no
list element "y|z" because "|" is a possible single character list
delimiter.
So because the other list functions work this way, ListAppend() will only
insert probably the first character in the string for delimiter.
You can, however, use non-printing characters like the ASCII bel as list
delimiters, which can be helpful if you have a list of user-input data and
aren't sure what it might contain.
