I would rather not do this.
It is not portable, for one thing.
And the wordexp * protected code will expand directories
just fine, if not double expanded, and it would not be double expanded
if you had your reversed ` convention in place.

Not trying to have all of us move all the chess pieces at once, so
why don't you push your new ` convention first,
and we'll all play with it for a bit,
and see that directory scans work just fine, and then take the next step
whatever that may be.
For files with leading ` I would use the convention 
``filename
just like you use %% for % in printf.
