What about "=" ? It even looks alot more lile a pipe than "|". I think
that the only place "=" will cause problems would be when using something like
set or in scripts where you are doing comparisons. In scripts, just look for
"==" or ">=", etc. Set can be modified to allow something like:
set FRED 55
or
set "FRED=55"
both give the same results (i.e. FRED=55.) Is there anything else that using
"=" as a pipe would break?
