today I encountered a filename containing two successive exclamation marks
e.g. `some very long name with blanks!!.txt'.
during an attempt to rename it to something sane I used
file name completion (`mv some now-hit-TAB' etc.) and noted that only the
blanks are automatically
backslash protected but not the two `!'. since I use `set -H' ( !-style
history expansion similar to csh)
this causes problems since the `!!' is then expanded during the attempt to
execute the `mv'.
question: should double exclamation marks not be backslash-protected as
well during file name completion?
regards,
j.
