Maybe the {{!}} template should be put into core as {{|}} Just to avoid the need of an extra template to trick the parser. Languages without escape characters are always tricky at the best.
As long as we're talking about adding core features ...
Most programming languages use backslash as a delimiter delimiter. Maybe this would work for MW as well?
So with a template having a table as an argument, you may want to do this:
{{some template| {| | hi | there |} }}
But due to pipe interpretation, you end up with this:
{{some template| {{{!}} {{!}} hi {{!}} there {{!}}} }}
With backslash, it would be this (slightly easier on the eyes):
{{some template| {| | hi | there |} }}
Just a thought. :)

Even better if we just had string delimiters.
For strings as parameters in template calls? Would lead to far more mistakes being made. The only symbols which cause any actual ambiguity is = and |, I'm sure we can think of a better solution than delimiting strings.
