 I want match pages which have actually curly braces in the names (like this one), but this matches a lot of pages without the braces in their names :( :
 
-[[!inline show="3" feed="no" archive="yes" pages="*_{*}_*"]]
+[[!inline show="3" feeds="no" archive="yes" pages="*_{*}_*"]]
 
 (note: the inline above has been restricted to 3 matches to keep this page
 concise. Hopefully it is still clear that this page is not in the output set,
@@ -9,17 +9,36 @@ titles).
 
 When escaped, it doesn't work at all:
 
-[[!inline show="3" feed="no" archive="yes" pages="*_\{*}_*"]]
+[[!inline show="3" feeds="no" archive="yes" pages="*_\{*}_*"]]
 
-[[!inline show="3" feed="no" archive="yes" pages="*_{*\}_*"]]
+[[!inline show="3" feeds="no" archive="yes" pages="*_{*\}_*"]]
 
 More tests:
 
 "\*{\*":
 
-[[!inline show="3" feed="no" archive="yes" pages="*{*"]]

+> This is due to the current handling of quoting and escaping issues

+> curlies when doing so to avoid one being used to break out of the `q{}`.

+> Alternative ways to handle it would be:

+> * Escape curlies. But then you have to deal with backslashes
+>   in the user's input as they could try to defeat your escaping.
