There seems to be some inconsistency in pattern
matching, regarding the 
use of symbol '?'. The manual says "Look up the manual
of your shell for 
a description of how pattern matching works.". Now I
understand that 
maybe this shouldn't be taken so literally, but I
would suggest the 
following:

1) Insert a clarification in the manual regarding this

non-standard/inconsistent behaviour.
2) In addition, consider extending pattern-matching to
include a 
single-character wildcard, perhaps using an escape
character. i.e. "\?" 
could be used to specify the wildcard, while normal
'?' would be taken 
as a literal, and part of the URL.
