Maybe ^? ^ is ancient shell for pipe, so it's just as fragile (with the additional disadvantage that people don't know about it anymore). Parentheses must also be quoted for some shells, so it's probably okay to just use | (which is probably more commonly understood as 'or' due to regular expressions using it), and expect users to understand that they'll need quoting, like in the example above.
