Indeed -- I have
(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map " " 'self-insert-command)
(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map "?" 'self-insert-command)
in my ~/.emacs.
But I don't think we can change the defaults here (it would drive (some)
people crazy), so we'd be talking about adding a user option. But I can
totally see some people wanting to only make space be self-inserting, or
just the question mark, and in that case, just doing the `define-key'
things is better for users, I think?
So I've just added that to the user manual, and I'm closing this bug
report.
