Also, your point about the special sameuser and samegroup keywords is a
good one. We should make those all work consistently (ie, quoting makes
it not a keyword). Going in the "*" direction would only make sense
if that were the only special case --- but it isn't. I don't think we
want to start choosing random symbols for sameuser, samegroup, and other
stuff we might think of in future.
