I see the lowercase L now.  I think a, show all, overriding other specs is the right behavior unless we decide to have viewspecs applied left to right without priority.  But I have seen 2 cases today that seem to need fixing, the one you pointed out and one involving a.

At most, you only ever use one pipe character.  Maybe instead of <|ben|1> you mean <|benc1> which clips the outline to 1 line per cell?

Adding 'a' (show all cell levels and all lines in cells) takes precedence over both of them, and will show all cell levels and lines no matter what else is in the view spec.
