Subject: How to change window divider in text terminal?

From (elisp) Display Tables:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The ordinary elements of the display table are indexed by character
codes; the element at index C says how to display the character code C.
The value should be ‘nil’ (which means to display the character C
according to the usual display conventions; *note Usual Display::), or a
vector of glyph codes (which means to display the character C as those
glyphs; *note Glyphs::).
[...]
The display table also has six “extra slots” which serve special
purposes. Here is a table of their meanings; ‘nil’ in any slot means to
use the default for that slot, as stated below.
[...]
5
The glyph used to draw the border between side-by-side windows (the
default is ‘|’). *Note Splitting Windows::. This currently has
effect only on text terminals; on graphical terminals, if vertical
scroll bars are supported and in use, a scroll bar separates the
two windows, and if there are no vertical scroll bars and no
dividers (*note Window Dividers::), Emacs uses a thin line to
indicate the border.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But none of the following work for me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 5 ?|)
(set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 5 (make-glyph-code ?|))
(set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 'vertical-border ?|)
(set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 'vertical-border
(make-glyph-code ?|))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And I'm pretty much sure that this happens because the character '|' is
hardcoded in "build_frame_matrix_from_leaf_window" in "src/dispnew.c".
