Sweet, thanks Tim!

Hmmm. Can't say on Stem's side I have an opinion on this. It doesn't
rely on fallback directories for anything so extrainfo caches aren't a
concern.

> * do you want the delimiter before the first fallback entry as well?

Stem doesn't care about a delimiter before the first entry but that
seems like a good idea so we have a clear separation between comments
and the start of the machine readable section.

A detail Stem does care about is that the last entry ends with a
delimiter. If it doesn't that's fine, but code is a tad simpler if we
ensure it does. :)

Cheers! -Damian
