With "x" as data and "|" as the terminator, the above gives us:
x|x|<empty>|
So if we keep in mind that:
...what we're counting is any chunk that's terminated,
either by the delimiter or by simply being the end of
the string...
...it still fits the engine's logic.
Chunk expressions are independent of UI conventions; whether items or
lines we should expect the same rules to apply.
The position of the cursor is not data, merely a function of UI
conventions for the placeholder where you can begin to add data if you
choose.
