Yes! I know this is really pathological. But these pathological
cases tend to occure. And when they occure, you will spend hours
searching for the reason for the failure of your script.
But have you tried to create such record in SE?
You would end with something like this:
set R to {|is \| allowed|:"yes"}
That is, for inserting a vertical bar in a label, that vertical bar
must be escaped (see the ASLG, pp 44-45).
Why would you expect "run script" to automagically accept as input
something that obviously needs special provision?
More important: You also prooved Chris right, because the pain is
now increasing!
I'm not sure Chris was considering "run script", which is an official
way for compiling/running text as a script... ;-)
