+1 from me too.
How about a columndelim property as well as linedelim and itemdelim.
Actually I think I came across a columndelim property somewhere that

I do like the idea of " repeat for each ... DELIMITED BY ..."
But, in the meantime there might be some alternatives to help your code
be nicer.
Do you use lines (i.e. process based on CRs) in these loops ?
If not, would it help your current code to use the fact that you can
change the line

So, what you want is to set the itemDel temporarily in the repeat, and
return to the previous itemDel after end repeat. Is this correct?

Would using a function do the trick?
repeat for each item theDat in delimitBy(theData,vtab)
do something
end repeat
function delimitBy pData,pDel
set the itemDel to pDel
return pData -- unaltered data
end delimitBy

While we're asking for modest syntax changes . . .
Being able to state DELIMIT BY in a REPEAT, and having it stick (as opposed
to using the current value of the itemdelimiter) would be a huge help.
It would avoid ugliness like
set the itemDel to vtab
repeat for each item theDat in theData
