I haven't been following the thread, but thought the below information
is relevant.
The commands that can't be followed by a '|' are listed under ":help
:bar". There are some tricks to workaround, such as using :exec and
<NL>, but they don't work for function. A combination of :exec and <NL>
can be used:
exec "function! T()\<NL>call input('T')\<NL>endfunction"
