In his original article Jeff Kegler asks why not eliminate < and >
from the shell and have it determine what you mean by context.

I don't see any advantadge in Jeff's scheme.  
It seems to me his scheme would break down over shell procedures.
he give the example:
                 cat a b c | tee hold | sort -n > sorted
could be written as
                 (a; b; c) | hold | sort -n | sorted
If a, b, or c were shell procedures, acording to his syntax they
would be invoked rather than cat'ed.
