By experiment:
pipe | literal foobar | console
consl pipe | literal foobar | console
foobar
... PIPE accepts one null stage
pipe | | literal foobar | console
consl pipe | | literal foobar | console
PIPSCC017E Null stage found.
... but not 2.
pipe || literal foobar | console
consl pipe || literal foobar | console
PIPSCC017E Null stage found.
And I'm not sure where it sees a null stage there since I
thought "||" is not a stage separator.
