| !! is for a single line in the buffer.
It's just the normal special case for most rangeable commands where
doubling the command means "do it to the current line". So:
!} pipes a paragraph through a shell command.
!/foo pipes the text from the current line to a line containing foo
through a shell command, etc.
I routinely go
{!}fmt
to reformat a paragraph.
