Of course, I was assuming that we would still be able to quote wildcards.
We can currently do something like
/foo/bar/fo[*]o.c
to open the file fo*o.c, but that only works if the file already exists
(and it breaks tab-completion), so we should extend it somehow.
Ideally we should be able to use the $-quoting scheme already used for
envvars and dollars:
/foo/bar/fo$*o.c
/foo/bar/fo$[o.c
but it seems difficult since the $-quoting and the wildcard-expansion
are done at two different places.
