Actually, several shells (tcsh, csh, bash, at least) that support the
! notation for history references process the history references
before ' and " quotes, so using them doesn't help much. So you have
to use a backslash. Or you can be smart (like me :), and turn off the
backslash quotation altoghether.
"!, just say no"
