Currently the marked file names are substituted for the * only if * is surrounded by whitespace. But what if someone wants to use the names of all marked files with * not surrounded by whitespace, e.g. ! some_external_program --files='*' or something like this? Should we add already proposed {*} replaced with file names unconditionally, not depending on surrounding whitespace? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
