!| || and !|! as binary methods?

A few days ago I tried to define  !|  ||  and  !|!  as binary methods in Squeak.
Today I tried the same with Pharo.
They all fail because the parser interprets  the '|' character
(the second '|' character in the case of  ||) as the beginning of
the declaration of local variables.

Is this a parsing error or the way Squeak/Pharo is intended to be defined?

Now you might think !|  and  !|!  are pretty weird (which doesn't
invalidate my question) but I think  ||  is pretty natural as a binary method!
