I assumed that https://org-babel.readthedocs.io/ is at least somewhat related to org documentation. Looks like I was wrong.
The :separator parameter seems to be related to how block's :var arguments are formatted when passing to the shell script. In most cases separator is not passed to `org-babel-import-elisp-from-file' -- looks like only some languages set it to some fixed value.
