>Description:
	vi supports filename completion, which I set to the <tab> key with:
		set filec=\<tab>

	However, certain characters in filenames are "special" to vi 
	and should be escaped in the "completed" name in the buffer.
	These characters include: %, #, and whitespace.

>How-To-Repeat:
	% mkdir testdir
	% cd testdir
	% touch 'test1' 'foo%bar' 'gee#wiz' 'hello there' 'tab<tab>here'
	% setenv EXINIT 'set filec=\<tab>'

	% vi
	:e te<tab>
	" expands to 'test1', opens as 'test1'
	" This is ok.
	:q

	% vi
	:e fo<tab>
	" expands to 'foo%bar', opens as 'foo/tmp/vi.09127bbar'
	" The expansion should be 'foo\%bar' so that the correct file is opened.
	:q

	% vi
	:e ge<tab>
	" expands to 'gee#wiz', vi errors with
	"	No filename to substitute for #.
	" The expansion should be 'gee\#wiz' so that the correct file is opened.
	:q

	% vi
	:e he<tab>
	" expands to 'hello there', vi errors with:
	"	Usage: [Ee][dit][!] [+cmd] [file].
	" It is not clear how to :e a file with a space in the name.
	:q

	% vi
	:e ta<tab>
	" expands to 'tab<tab>here', vi errors with:
	"	Usage: [Ee][dit][!] [+cmd] [file].
	" It is not clear how to :e a file with a tab in the name.
	:q
