ESC . on # items

$ echo abc
abc
$ #echo xyz
$
Now do "ESC ." and experience the pain of the buzzer or visual bell
that means one has done something bad. Yes, I know you are against
thinking that one would ever want the last item of something one
commented out, but at least you don't have to chastise them :-( I
personally would give them xyz. What ever you do please don't give them
the bell. Odd that one can ^R them but not ESC . them.
