New Constant Documentation

Hi,

Just helping out with the applescript grammar in Textmate [1] and we've come across some undocumented features (in the help docs at least.)

First one is the constant | where you can use | to create a variable out of anything, even if its some other terminology.

example:

set |set| to "foobar"
return |set|

I've found some release notes that cover the pipe variable thing, and define some other stuff [2][3], but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any documentation covering |word| at all.
