It's also the string concatenation operator in REXX.  In a
security related memo I've seen { } (curly braces), but "||"
(or "+" if unambiguous) are IMO better to read.  Awk-style,
operands separated (only) by space(s), could confuse me, in
REXX that's the same as x || " " || y, and not just x || y.
