That last option results in a quote marker of '-|>'.

Let me restate what I understand to be Matt's question, because I also
am interested in the answer.

If I want to use a character other than '>' as the quote character,
how can I do so?  Note that I am not asking about prefixes to '>',
such as 'DG>' or whatever.  Just something like:

| This is a quoted line.

Yes, I realize that this may not be a good idea for several reasons,
and that '>' is the defacto standard.  Nevertheless, if I wished to
use a different character, how would I do it?
