 I like to call '*' SPLAT. I like GASP for '!'. But, what do
 you call '|' (This is not a pipe. :-) )? All the words I have
 heard to describe it have been system or language specific.
 Not everyone understands '|' to be pipe or half a PL/I
 concatenation. My son, at age 6, called it STICK, do you have
 something better.
