Ah, I see.  Unfortunately, the trick is also getting undone by
other changes in the OS:

    [pmichaud at power lens]$ ls -l
    total 26
    drwxr-xr-x  2 pmichaud pmichaud  1024 Aug 31 12:54 eggs
    -rw-r--r--  1 pmichaud pmichaud  3262 Sep  1 11:56 implementation.txt
    -rw-r--r--  1 pmichaud pmichaud 10105 Sep  2 16:20 included_wikipages.txt
    drwxrwxrwx  2 pmichaud pmichaud  1024 Sep  2 16:20 newtheme
    -rw-r--r--  1 pmichaud pmichaud  7052 Sep  2 16:51 readme.txt
    drwxrwxrwx  2 pmichaud pmichaud  1024 Sep  2 16:16 sample
    drwxr-xr-x  5 pmichaud pmichaud  1024 Aug 31 12:18 !shared
    -rw-r--r--  1 pmichaud pmichaud     0 Sep  2 17:29 xyz

and my shell (bash) doesn't seem like it much:

    [pmichaud at power lens]$ cd !shared
    -bash: !shared: event not found
    [pmichaud at power lens]$ cd ./!shared    # try again
    -bash: !shared: event not found
    [pmichaud at power lens]$ cd "!shared"    # third time's the charm?
    -bash: !shared: event not found
    [pmichaud at power lens]$ cd '!shared'    # arrrgh!
    [pmichaud at power !shared]$              # finally!

Anyway, this is just FWIW.
