   IMHO, we should remove the feature all-together -- or just keep it

           mv ? newname.c

           mv ? ?-old


   Instead, we should have a command that inserts the current buffer's
   file name at point (e.g. in the minibuffer).

That has little to do with `?'.  `?' substitutes each marked file (in
a Dired buffer) in turn.

Sincerely,
