| It is apparently an undocumented feature that hitting `?'
| in a completing-read or whatever gives you a list of completions.
| I don't think this is particularly useful, since TAB will do that,
| but complete as much as possible first.
| It also precludes filenames containing `?' (admittedly rare).

You can type C-q ? to get the '?' in the filename.

The feature is also documented. Look at the Completion node of the
Emacs manual (C-h i m Emacs RET m Completion RET).
