Yes, I found out that '||' works, but I prefer "or" because it looks
better. I find that the english words express better the meaning than
symbols.  If I am correct the english versions and symbol versions are a
bit different (preference rules or something), but it is strange that they
aren't allowed inside an argument list.  Is there a reason why this
is so, or is it just a bug?
