the :global command basically tags all lines
matching a pattern - and then the command after
is (:substitute) is executed for each tagged line.
the pipe separates from the next command which
":join"s the current line with the next one.
however, the "join" command converts an EOL
into a space. the "gJ" command simply
joins without this conversion, but
as it is a command within "normal mode"
it requires the ":normal" workaround.

see also:
:help :g
:help :s
:help :bar
:help :normal
:help gJ

and maybe there is a way to re-use the pattern from
the global command within the substitution command.
