OK, anyone opposed to

please speak up now! Otherwise, I'll commit it to the stable branch of the software, which means it will go online with the next update.
I'm not a great fan of it. Can you provide complete specification of how is it supposed to behave ? It seems to be stealing whole 3 characters - {, }, and |, and to be much more ambiguous than it should.
It only steals one character--"{"--and at that, only at the beginning of a paragraph. Not bad if you ask me (not that you did), 'cause I don't think there are so many paragraphs in Wikipedia starting with a curly bracket. It does "steal" the other characters you mention, plus the exclamation mark I suggested, at the beginning of a paragraph *within* a table. But one you open a table, you're aware those are mandatory, so no worries there.
