bug#64795: 30.0.50; manual-entry [(1) fails |

Hello,
In Gnu/Linux there is a binary named "[" in /usr/bin/, and it has a man
page I can read in a terminal using "man '[(1)'".
Requesting the man page in Emacs using `man' is broken, however:
M-x manual-entry RET [ TAB
echoes "[No match]" - this is the first problem (the failing
completion).
C-g, let's try differently:
M-x manual-entry RET TAB [ TAB
(that's the same as before but additionally requesting all candidates
before writing in the minibuffer) suddenly completes to "[(1)" as
expected. But when confirming with RET the man buffer only has these
contents:
| /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
|
| process exited abnormally with code 2
That's the second problem.
Oh, and M-x woman [ RET works as expected.
TIA,
Michael.
