The shell of which you speak is the WShell v1.2 (highly recommended :-).
It does indeed ``force'' you to have white-space on the leading edge of
the pipe symbol, which defaults to `|', but can be changed via the
WShell-config file to be any symbol you desire.  Because Bill enforces
the white-space before pipe symbol rule in the WShell, there is no 
way it could be mixed up with AmigaOS pattern matching.
Have your burger, your way, some might say...
