Yes, .emacs is a hard one -- but it is a very special case IMO.
This is just an example, of course. Plenty of standard files (most,
actually) have `.'s in their names, plenty of standard buffers (most
of them) have `*'s in their names, several functions have *'s in
their names, say let* or list*, several variables have *'s in their
names (cl actually has tons of these variables and functions), some
have `+' in their name. I can go on and on. Most of the characters
that are "special" in regexps are common outside of regexps too.
Did you try to do C-h C-d .mailrc ?
Is that a personal binding of yours? For me, C-h C-d runs
`describe-distribution'.
Did you try to do C-h C-d .mailrc ? I don't see any false matches there.
And for C-h C-d *scratch* RET, it finds all the relevant matches AFAICS.
I still don't see the "serious" problem here.
The problem is that a if you put .mailrc, *scratch*, let* or whatever
in a list of keywords, then that list of keywords turns into a regexp.
Sincerely,
Luc.
