M-x shell
$ date >    <TAB> # give no expansions. Bad.
$ date >  ./<TAB> # gives filenames. Good.
$ date >|   <TAB> # give no expansions. Bad.
$ date >| ./<TAB> # gives executables and subdirectories. Bad.
So M-x shell tab expansions are fooled into thinking >| should be like |
when in fact it should be like >.
And also there are Bad cases 1 and 2 above that need fixing.
