Although I don't think we need to make this change, any change to 
the documentation shouldn't be so vague.  

   There is no $INPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR, although you can break
   apart lines with the split() function, or with the -a and
   -F command line switches.

Still, I don't see a reason to document that something doesn't
exist.
