It will be only magical if
* it is used inside a table and
* if a '|' is the first char at the beginning of the line
Or a "!", as of latest (yes, <th> has finally arrived!)

The only use of '|' I can think of in text (not counting links, they 
won't be affected) is for ASCII drawings, and for these, the line always 
starts with a blank anyway.
