Actually this is for generic qq<char> and _excludes_ the paired  
characters (since it uses <char> in the end pattern, which doesn't  
work for the paired ones).

Oh… must have missed that note. This is actually a TM bug (which I  
wasn't aware of). It interprets special characters in the back- 
reference, resulting in | not being matched literally.

I'll fix that for 1.1b14 — until then, a special rule to handle | can  
be made, similar to the special rules for the brackets.
