Description

Currently, regardless of whether an element or model group has a required terminator, any delimiters from the enclosing nest must be escaped.

However, in the situation where the only delimiter can be the terminator the delimiters of the enclosing nest aren't actually needed to be escaped, only the terminator itself needs to be escaped.

This improves composition properties, and may improve performance.
