Yeah, the wording isn't ideal.  I'd start it out like this:

    ${ COMMAND; }
    ${| COMMAND; }

Execute COMMAND in the current execution environment....

The first form (where the character after ${ is a space, tab or newline)
does such and such....

The second form (where the character after ${ is a pipe) does so and so....
