Proposing the new dired command "|"

[Dan Jacobson]

Proposing the new dired command "|".

Place the cursor on file x.
Currently one types
!cat *|a|b|c|d
the same effect can be had more easily with my proposed "|", just type
|a|b|c|d
both of which will do the same as
$ cat x|a|b|c|d
in the shell.
If there are several marked files x y z, perhaps do cat x y z|...

I propose 'em, you implement 'em.
