I guess it all depends on what you want to do with the resulting
document.  You could always insert a character that looks like the '|'
character, such as the unicode "LIGHT VERTICAL BAR" (0x2758) character,
'❘', and I'm sure there are others that could be used... org should
ignore this character as a table delimiter.
