It didn't grep in my local copy, but based on the quote above, it looks
to me like "this terminator '/'" should have been either "this
terminator" (omit "'/'" since it is already referring to the first one)
or "this terminator ('/')" (ugly) or "the terminator '/'".
If the "'/'" is left in, both "terminator" or "terminating" seems
equally suitable.
"Terminator" presumably means something which designates the termination
of an element. The term is often confused with "separator", but I don't
have enough context to guess which is better in this case.
