Also note that european (at least swedish) keyboards has the <>
chars much more reachable then the []. On a US layout, the []
are two single keys, right? For me it is AltGr-8 and AltGr-9.

So wheither one has seen the PIPE problem or not might has some
to so with what directory delimiters you are used to use.

Besides of that, I thought that the <> problem with PIPE
was, if not well, so at least known.
