{} might be a good replacement for ? since AFAIU its planned use
doesn't depend on surrounding whitespace, but the problem is still
unsolved for *.
We don't have a problem to solve for *. We don't need
to do anything besides switch from ? to {}.
Currently the marked file names are substituted for
the * only if * is surrounded by whitespace. But what if someone
wants to use the names of all marked files with * not surrounded
by whitespace, e.g.
! some_external_program --files='*'
If you find such a situation, just put in whitespace:
! some_external_program --files=' * '
I don't see how there could ever be a reason you
would need to do this with no whitespace.
