True, in fact I was just seeing the side effect of using { ... } for
the main process.

The end marker can still be useful so that the filter knows when
to stop reading. This is useful if the main process can execute
processes and some of them can remain running in background while
still connected to the pipe (this is the case wih svn + ssh).
