 listofitems  v1.0  20/8/2016

 This simple package is designed to read a list of items
 whose parsing character may be selected by the user.

 Once the list is read, its items are stored in a structure
 that behaves as a dimensioned array. As such, it becomes very
 easy to access an item in the list by its number.

 For example, if the list is stored in the macro \foo, the
 item #3 is designated by \foo[3].

 A component may, in turn, be a list with a parsing delimiter
 different from the parent list, paving the way for nesting
 and employing a syntax reminiscent of an array of several
 dimensions of the type \foo[3,2] to access the item #2 of
 the list contained within the item #3 of the top-tier list.
