Maybe one could make a new | package, bind *package* to the new package, read the file in, and then | delete the temporary package again. Would that work? Is there a better | way?

This is a Jackass episode. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none. In a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief.
