PIPESTATUS clarification

This is a nit, but where Hans referred to pipe commands, I would use piped commands. To me, the pipe commands would be the '|' symbols themselves for invoking the pipes. Not important, just my grammatical foible. Hans gave this example: ( ls /tmp/afjkasdlf | grep georg | echo; pipestat=(
