It's funny to see alias PIPE='|'

That's not much of an alias. Usually I use them to shorten the typing, not make it longer.

Here's my suggestion:

alias "list all files, but don't show much info"= ls

Premature 4/1

I could imagine that that is for keyboard layouts where | is prohibitively difficult to type.
