Thanks - that sorts out a lot (and exposes another issue I'll write about separately!).
In my many decades of programming I always had reservations about "syntactic sugar" - different ways of expressing the same thing. When the alternatives do not have the same behaviour at all times, they can be positively misleading. In this case, || appeared to work for some things, but then broke when something else happened; similarly the other week I reported an issue with some parameters which mostly worked with either # or \ introducing them, but one parameter value didn't. In this case, as it happens, I do normally use \\ correctly, but I had a senior moment this week and held the shift down when I shouldn't have.
