I'm a noob, so this is a guess, but I think the union operator is the pipe symbol (|).

You're right, but it doesn't help with this problem:

(a) Ryan was trying to find an intersection, not a union

(b) He wanted to compare atomic sequences by value comparison, whereas "|" compares nodes by node identity.
