Personnally I never use \vline, but only in the context of defining a
new specifier with \newcolumntype and redefining | that could be
useful. For instance

\newcolumntype{|}{!{\vrule width 1.5pt}}% redefine
\newcolumntype{I}{!{\vline}}
\begin{tabular}{|lIl|}
  a&b\\
  c&d\\
\end{tabular}

Maybe it would be good to describe somewhere how to do thicker/thiner
rules, there is the booktab / easytable packages (I never use them...),
but also A. Kessi macro (see
http://www.grappa.univ-lille3.fr/FAQ-LaTeX/7.5.html).

I have not checked ever package tabu, it probably also proposes things
for making (h|v)rules.

Let us see what Karl writes, I agree that it may be useful to have such
a sentence, but I am concerned that then, every-time we need to add
a entry / reorder entries in the menu, this sentence needs rewording.
