emacs -Q
You cannot understand a thing about commands `delimit-columns-region'
and `delimit-columns-rectangle' without reading the commentary in Lisp
file delim-col.el. In sum, there is no help for users - no doc.
Not only that, if you are tempted to try these commands on a regular
region of text, you will likely see no change at all - the buffer isn't
even modified. This is because these commands only affect regions and
rectangles that contain text formatted in a certain way.
This is all explained in detail in the source file commentary,
`delim-col.el'. But none of it is available to users via *Help*.
Similarly, the defcustoms are little help. They explain nothing. Users
must consult the source file to understand _anything_ about this feature.
