I am dropping this request. It's more trouble than it's worth until we decide the behavior we want to enforce. It was a cool idea, but not at the expense of other features.

The URL with query params, is already supported by some of the services, so URL with ? is more already issue than potential problem.
Also, one more thought, maybe the regular expressions will required for a command as parameter.

Actually, I think we just always alias ? to TAB and that should work. There's another issue open to improve the auto-completion to give example information.
Is there any case that you can think of where someone would want to have something like "connect to ? as " with the question mark being displayed and interpreted literally? I cannot think of anything other than potentially in a URL.

Hm, you mean we should print the question mark as regular, when no any autoreplations available and make alias to the TAB otherwise, it's correct?

What issue would aliasing TAB create that is not already present when the user hits TAB at that location?

When starting the CLI for the first time, I immediately typed "?" expecting to see a help, usage, something... instead, I get:
This should be aliased to the TAB key, without requiring hitting enter. This would make the CLI work more like most network equipment CLI.
