What was wrong with your first suggestion (and Miles's):

But I'd keep the single-file meaning of all keys, including `!', and use a
different key to replace all remaining occurrences in this file and the
other files. It's not good for a key (e.g. `!') to change meaning, depending
on whether one file or several are searched.
