+
+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.
Not true with any spec I've read.
+Do the pattern-matching functions in 2.0 require the parenthesis grouping?
Definitely not.
