Maybe I should mention a possible simpler solution, proposed in
private email by Johan Vromans to use {} instead of ?, in analogy with
the -exec argument of find(1).
mv {} .{}.uu
That could be a good idea. It would only cause a problem if you
are trying to run `find'. I guess you could use "{}" to pass
that argument to `find'; by the time `find' sees it, the quotes
will have been removed.
Does anyone see a problem with this?
I do not know whether we then also should use () or [] or such
instead of * for consistency.
That would be rather complex, and there is no problem with *.
Using * is natural because it means "all the files".
