Hi Hartmut! Thanks a lot for your contribution!

Unfortunately, most of the wordlists from the original world.std.com website are IMHO of minor quality. They are no prefix code and they contain (despite they are not too long) very short words (down to single chars). All this reduces the entropy of passphrases produced with these lists. I therefore avoided to include them in diceware (except the English list from diceware.com).

I'd rather consider to remove the already contained English wordlist as well, as it shares these weaknesses and the EFF list is a major improvement and well done replacement.

I hope you can understand and support this policy. This is also a note to keep you from compiling more wordlists from std.com, as they all seem to suffer from that problems (too short terms, no prefix code).

Okay, I'll update the pull-request to not include the wordlists anymore.

Also move insert_special_delimiter into a function so it can
be tested.
