I don't see why it's tricky to do portably. If the RHS contains '&',
escape it with a backslash. That's simple and portable, no?
The advantage of using & as a delimiter is that any other choice of a
delimiter means one more character to escape (namely, the delimiter).
(Admittedly these are all minor points.)
