I think this discussion focuses on the power of the quote mark.
Currently, SE's use the period as a delimiter and will never disallow these
delimiters. While quotes are frequently used as a delimiter, SE's won't allow
the use of the period even if included within quotes, which in my humble
opinion, they should.
Bottom line: quotes should tell SE's "use this criteria *untouched* " and
allow all sorts of special characters. This would make SE's very powerful,
indeed.
