    If everybody is finished laughing...  Maybe one should allow it
    surrounded by quotes, something like

      '?'.uu

That seems like a good idea, if it can be implemented in
a way that really works reliably.  It might require parsing
shell syntax to an extent that is not worth the trouble
it takes.  Or perhaps some of the existing code for parsing
shell arguments could do the job.
