The issue is not dynamically defining the delimiters, although that's
currently not supported.  The issue is working out what the delimiters
in a derived file are, without embedding that information in the
derived file.  Or breaking legacy derived files, which assume "<<",
">>".

So I think the simplest most bang for the buck solution now is to make
sure that Leo ignores the delimiters in @<file> types where they make
no sense.  This is Edward's area of expertise:

Should ignore:
  @auto

Can't ignore:
  @file
  @thin

I don't know:
  @nosent
  @shadow
  @edit
  @auto-rst
  etc.

If most of the "I don't know" list ended up on the "Should ignore"
list, all would be well.  Let's see where they go.

Cheers -Terry
