Well, || alone should be a pair of thin bars, while || in combination
with other elements means a thick bar.  To use `!' or `.', I don't
care (but I have a conservative preference for `.').

My idea was to use the vertical bar symbol for everything, thus coming
nearer to the visible result.

Yes, of course.  A thin bar followed by a thick bar ends a piece.
This looks like a misunderstanding.
