Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

comm(1) says
       --output-delimiter=STR
              separate columns with STR
and this holds in all cases except where STR is the empty string:
  $ comm --output-delimiter=я <(echo a) <(echo a)
  яяa
  $ comm --output-delimiter=zupsko <(echo a) <(echo a)
  zupskozupskoa
  $ comm --output-delimiter= <(echo a) <(echo a) | cat -A
  ^@^@a$

Useful? Good? Undocumented? Surprising? How do you spec an actual empty
string, then? Expected? Bug? The documentation is that half-line,
so I leave these questions to you.

Best,
наб
