Is there any code in ConTeXt that makes the vertical bar `|' other than letter
(code 11)? I had a file fail compilation over a `|' (used as part of an otp
transcription in Gamma):
! Argument of \next has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
<to be read again>
Now
\catcode`\|=11
fixed things and ConTeXt appears to run fine, but I need to know if this quick
fix is dangerous;->
Best

If you have problems with the keyboard | character then how about a
\vrule?

The | is indeed active and used for compound things |-| and |(| and it
expects a | as delimiter
Your fix is not that dangerous
