Because such a delimiter would depend on the used shell and the OS.  A
single hex string is the simplest thing to use.  You are not supposed to
read it.  If you want to compare a fingerprint, use --fingerprint
instead - that is what we have told people.  And if you want to read it
even better use --with-icao-spelling ;-)

In Emacs you need to be in lisp-mode if you do not want '-' to be a word
delimiter.
