Description
Currently ``(cat| ...) is not supported, i.e. it can only be used with command/term. I'd like to wait with this change until we have unified the | notation in a single parser supporting dynamic lookups.
It also doesn't work with macro's category inference yet.

Research direction
The issue concerns double-backtick quotations with syntax categories or parsers beyond command/term, plus category inference for macro. Begin by investigating the existing parser for the | notation and how dynamic lookups and macro category inference are handled; done means the supported categories and parser behavior are defined and implemented consistently.
