Indeed, for me that's a reason to prefer | over @. BTW, while the PEP wasn't clear on this point last I looked, I hope it allows for whitespace after the | (or @, or =, or whatever it is).

The @ is a token by itself so there's nothing to stop you to insert whitespace after it. The PEP should make this clear though.
