title: Is it possible to give the pipeline char '|' as a commandline argument?
body: <p>Is it possible to pass the pipeline character '|' as a commandline argument to a program rather than having it creating a pipeline between process a and b?</p>
  
  <pre><code>./program -a | -b .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand that it will be very confusing but I am wondering if you can somehow override this pipeline char not creating a pipe but just functioning as a normal char.</p>
