Hmm, it seems that I have to type C-v twice just because the
combination of my zh_CN.GB18030 locale and xterm.  In
other cases you should be able to just use C-v to escape.
I'll email xterm developers for details...

Actually, the filec functionality has been greatly improved
1. it completes paths level by level, no longer try to find the
longest match; 2. it recognizes escaped partial results, and
gives escaped results.  For example, when completing
a filename "nice boat", the old filec gives you

  :e nice boat

, then you are going to open two files, which makes this
feature useless.  Now we give

  :e nice^V boat

which is the working answer.  I hope you can get
accustomed to this feature :)
