I use PIPE STATE as a shortcut to get the return code into FILELIST

Sadly, I know I use this form very often in execs to resolve wildcards:
'PIPE state' fn ft fm '| var actualfile'
And since STRING doesn't actually require the timestamp to be included
with a % sign anywhere, there's no reliable way to distinguish a
filespec from an argument--"STRING * *" or "STRING CEXEC" is valid as
either. I suppose it's possible I've already been bitten by that case
(returning 0 instead of 28) and failed to notice a file with filename
STRING missing.
Actually, though, the problem wasn't new with STRING. QUIET and ASIS
introduced it for all the other keywords, too. Am I looking for a file
called NOFORMAT QUIET or do I want raw information on nothing? We
should have asked back in 1993 to have it check whether it's first in
the pipeline.
In trying out various cases, I also found that a null string made an
even worse mess:
