If we're going to change this I don't want it to be part-way. We've
discussed before on this list that the proper solution is to make
auto-expansion and keyword recognition occur only for unquoted args
(with associated policy of course).
There is nothing wrong with the "x" workaround in practice until
a real solution can be implemented.
