Raymond Hettinger <[email protected]> added the comment:
This seems fine to me. In pattern matching, it has both the meaning and
pronunciation of "or":
case "this" | "that": ...
It has similar mean in the re module:
r'abc|def'
And it is also used the same way in typing:
s: list | tuple
We've also long used it for sets:
rich | tall # People who are either rich OR tall
Based on this, I don't there is any reason to suspect it will be confused with
bitwise-or.
The only place the operator really isn't harmonious is with dicts where its
meaning is "update" and where it isn't commutative.
