Subject: 23.1.50; Info-index and ? in minibuffer
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:26:25 +0100

The key binding for ? in the minibuffer can be very annoying for the
Info-index command.  Some languages, e.g. Forth or Scheme, have the
convention to append a question mark to predicate names and so typing a
plain ? is needed rather often.

Also, ? seems to do almost the same as TAB.
Please make ? a self-inserting command in the minibuffer.
