In the further documentation, the default separator is not named.

It would helpful to specify it using an escape character in the \Usage section "\s" or 
"\t"?

and to name it explicitly in the \Arguments section

The default for that argument is an ascii space, and " " is the usual way that is expressed in R. \s is not defined in R.

I agree naming the argument could be helpful for some people, but there are dozens of instances of this, and I think people will catch on.
