Reversing the sense of the leading ` is, I think, an interesting idea. There are no side effects unless you ask for them, and it would fix a bug that you introduced, wherein r5, to read the fifth buffer into the current buffer, no longer works. It doesn't work because 5 runs through wordexp and there is no file called 5. I use this feature a hundred times a day, to cut and paste text between sessions. Anyways it fails now because 5 runs through wordexp, but it use to work, and would work again if such lines did not go through wordexp by default, either because my syntax checker was back in place, or because you had to indicate so with a leading `. An unknown for me is how often I automatically, and without thinking, use * to edit or read a file; I just pattern match automatically, and I can see myself cursing and having to type it in again with a leading ` and by that time I probably could have just typed in the filename. Damn! and I'd be annoyed because here again it is different from the shell. I guess I'll have to sleep on this for a night or two, or maybe play with it in its different modes for a week or two, to get a sense of things. One thing I have to do right away is fix the r5 bug, in one way or another. Reading and writing among buffers just has to work for me.
