Why it all vanished again I have no idea, so while it explains why bash is as it is, none of it is relevant for anything more than that.
True, but the bash behavior what we're discussing here.
I also cannot see any utility at all in (yet another way) to specify false.
Once you say a pipeline consists of zero or more commands separated by `|'
and optionally preceded by `!', you have to specify the corner cases with
zero commands.
