That was the first thing I tried when we started implementing the help system. The problem is when the user actually wants to input a '?' character, how do we rebind the '?' key back to the actual character? I also tried to rebind the key after seeing a quote (assuming '?' characters can only appear in quotes), etc., etc. In the end, this is a limitation in the readline library (which is used by bash for command line input). We _could_ change readline, I suppose, somewhere down the road.
