If a string is used and a delimiter to separate the messages, how would 
I render that? Currently if there are multiple message for a single line 
each message is drawn on its own line. That means I need to split the 
string on the delimiter? I also need to do that every time because I 
don't know if the string contains delimiters. Doesn't sound very 
efficient to me.

They can do that already?
