My '' suggestion wanted to implement a similar trick for the opposite
problem, where one wants ? to be expanded without having to surround
it by whitespace.
I see.
But I am not so sure about my suggestion any more. Some users might
currently be using ?'' or *'' instead of the suggested ?"" or *"" to
prevent expansion by Emacs and insert an isolated ? or * as a
wildcard.
We need not hesitate to make incompatible changes in little
interactive commands like this. The question is what interface is
best to use.
