I think we don't need the | convention in the variable name for that.
Because that is already known from the type of the data to be sent over
(= the output of currentFormVar). The marshaller can put the record tags
automatically.

This is actually already used with :list and maybe with :record too. So
what we actually need to do is

- to make the marshaller marshall the :records types too

- to make the formvar logic smarter so that it can select the composite
variables that belong to one varname only, from the form.

I am not saying the final word on this, but changing the syntax in the
suggested way is something we would like to avoid. So if we can do
without it...
