   Returns a dictionary populated by lines from a file where
   the first delimited element of each line is the key and
   the second delimited element is the value.

   :param path: Path to the file
   :type path: str
   :param delimiter: Delimiter separating key and value
   :type delimiter: str

   :returns: Dictionary containing key,value pairs derived from each
             line of delimited strings
   :rtype: Mapping[str,str]

   :raises UnsupportedOperation: Raised if there's an error in reading the file


.. py:function:: dict_to_delimited_file(path: str, values: Mapping[Any, Any], delimiter: str = ',') -> None

   Writes a dictionary to delimited lines in a file where
   the first delimited element of each line is the dict key
   and the second delimited element is the dict value. If the
   file does not exist, it is created and then written to.

   :param path: Path to the file
   :type path: str
   :param delimiter: Delimiter separating key and value

   :rtype: None

   :raises OError: Raised if there's an error opening or writing to the
