Personally, I'd prefer @ over |: | looks too much like ASCII art (like
someone might draw in a multiline comment in C); whereas @ at least
looks like it's doing something.  Though for me, @ brings to mind
preprocessor directives, maybe that's for the best.

This does look prettier (especially the space version), but it looks
even more like ASCII art.

So for the record, assuming I'm -1 on @, I'm -1.5 on this ;)
