Description

Bitwise or/join operator.

Returns

If there's a single argument, that argument will be returned.

If there are more than two arguments, the result will be:

`|(`|(arg1, arg2), @extras)

.

If arg1 is an object that has an lfun::`|(), that function will be called with arg2 as the single argument.

If arg2 is an object that has an lfun::``|(), that function will be called with arg1 as the single argument.

Otherwise the result will be as follows:

arg1 can have any of the following types:

int The result will be the binary or of arg1 and arg2. mapping|multiset The result will be the join of arg1 and arg2. array The result will be the concatenation of arg1 and arg2. string The result will be the pairwise bitwose or of arg1 and arg2. type|program The result will be the type join of arg1 and arg2.
