^ 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.
