It is required that the '|' used as logical-or be enclosed with its arguments
in parenthesis. In some cases, the usual AmigaDos commands will accept the OR
symbol without parenthesis, but this is not consistent with the spec.
Do the pattern-matching functions in 2.0 require the parenthesis grouping?

Not to be cliche or anything, but 'it's in there'.
