Great library!

I came across a low pri usability issue.

If you forget to include the delimiter (ahem) for dd_text2list, the Dream Daemon gets stuck in a loop and you are directed toward a function in Text_Handling. A user friendly change might be to force an exception with information about the missing parameter.
