Semicolon: list and dictionary item delimiter

Where attribute values can have multiple values, a semi-colon is used as a 'delimiter' between each item and optionally after the last item. Multi-value data types include:

List:

$MyList = [car;train;boat;plane;boat]; 

Set:

$MySet = [car;train;boat;plane;boat]; (here value boat will be de-duplicated and the list sorted in the resulting Set), i.e. [boat;car;plane;train].

Dictionary:

$MyDictionary = {car:weels;truck:wheels;train:rails}; 

Note in the case of a dictionary, the list is one of key:value pairs.
