This is actually not the case, as "\"" cannot be written with the empty
delimiter, you need something like #"-"""-". For X to be a valid
delimiter for a string S, then (string-append "\"" X "\"") cannot appear
in the string, *and* (string-append "\"" X) cannot be a suffix of the
string.
I believe that is sufficient, because for a string S, (string-append S
"\"" X "\"") (the part of the raw string after the delimiter) will only
contain the subsequence (string-append "\"" X "\"") as a suffix.
