FWIW: ! is interpreted specially by Unix shells and requires escaping, so
it becomes 3 chars (if using single quotes around the word) or two chars
(\!). @ is conventionally used by some apps to mean "include list from this
file." '?' is a wildcard character and ':' is prohibited by some
filesystems but not others. We could probably find an agreeable prefix, but
having a flag is both conventional and avoids the ambiguity problem
altogether.
