The minibuffer won't let you enter ? or auto-complete foo to foo?, even though ? can be part of a symbol. Escaping the ? with a backslash also doesn't work. This is especially annoying for libraries containing many Scheme-style predicates, such as 'f' and 's'.

Yes. It's a really dumb design, IMHO. I've argued for years now that characters such as SPC and ? and C-j (newline) should be self-inserting during completion. After several decades, SPC was finally made self-inserting for file-name completion (only). Progress is slow... Completion - ESPECIALLY `completing-read' as opposed to `read-file-name' - is completely _general_. There should be no assumption that completion candidates do not contain spaces or question marks or newline chars. That's just silly (IMHO). And making users use `C-q' to insert a space char is akin to medieval torture - because it is completely unnecessary. =C2=A0
