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.
