Re: Separating multiple user-defined commands with | (bar)

In the unix bash command shell, using | to separate commands creates a pipe from the standard out of one command to the standard in of the next. So maybe "pipe" would be appropriate there. In vim, it serves only to separate commands, so it could be confusing to refer to it as a "pipe". That's my perspective, anyway.
