Re: global: regular expression is not allowed with the --from-here option.

Hi,

You are right. A certain measure is needed.

As the first step, how about making effective the --literal

option to the default command and the -c command?

$ global --from-here=40:guix.scm %gcc-bootstrap-tarball?

(error message)

$ global --from-here=40:guix.scm --literal %gcc-bootstrap-tarball?

(no error message)

Now, the --literal option is effective only to the -g command.

In a scheme (language) project where there are many tags with ?, I am
constantly getting:

        $ global --from-here=40:guix.scm %gcc-bootstrap-tarball?
        global: regular _expression_ is not allowed with the --from-here option.

Isn't it better to treat the pattern as literal instead of an error. One
can get the same error from `completion' (i.e. -c) by using any regexp
metachar(?$+. etc). Could this error be removed and replaced with
something that does the right thing?

Thanks,
Leo
