AFAIK there's no good reason why the first (unnamed) argument in a parser function invocation is separated from the parser function name with a colon, rather than a vertical bar. We should try to make this uniform, at least when considering invocations with heredoc syntax {T114432}. Probably we just need to split on colon OR vertical bar during the initial parser function argument parsing, so that `{{#tag:ext}}` and `{{#tag|ext}}` are equivalent. Might require some linting to make sure this doesn't inadvertently break anything. Related to {T204370} and {T204307}.

Might require some linting to make sure this doesn't inadvertently break anything. This will *only* work for hash-prefixed parser functions; a separate task (T204370) tries to ensure that there are hash-prefixed alternatives for all the otherwise "magic" parser functions.
