99.999% of that function’s effectiveness is that unix shell, being the ancient dinosaur it is, not just allows : as a function name but also uses the exact same declaration syntax for symbol and alphanumeric functions:

<span style="color:#323232;">foo(){ foo | foo&amp; }; foo
</span>

is way more obvious.

EDIT: Yeah I give up I’m not going to try to escape that &
