I do not think it is simply not worth the complexity to selectively disable it. If it is a regression, it is much better to simply revert, if we can (it appears that cdfd9483 (Add new @ shortcut for HEAD, 2013-05-07) can be reverted without any textual context, but there may already be new stuff that depends on the "@"). For the upcoming release, I am very much tempted to revert it and let the topic retried, by people who really want the "let's save four keystrokes and replace it with @ aka Shift-", without hurting your use case (and others), after the upcoming release. What do others think?
