 Replying to [comment:8 annakrat]:
 > If I remember the problem correctly, this ticket is still valid for
 Windows.

 Confirmed: g.copy e.g. the "boundary_municip" NC map to myvector,
 then edit an entry in the "NAME" column and insert "|" there, it
 (apparently) do that but then no longer show the table. However,
 a message is shown suggesting to change the separator to a different
 character.

 > So on Windows you cannot load attribute table data with pipe characters.

 Currently no unless you select a different separator.

 > Maybe we can change milestone?

 To which would you change it? How about a condition if-on-windows
 predefine
 a separator different from | by default? Which is more save?
