owl treats $ as a regexp character (it seems that this shouldn't be the
case, as narrowing on instance foo$ narrows on instance foo).

It's also not possible to reply or send to an instance name that contains
both the ' and " characters, although modifying the name by enclosing each
quote in the other type of quotes using C-r (:reply -e) seems to work
(e.g. 'foo" -> Unbalanced quotes, but "'"foo'"' is fine). owl cannot
narrow on such an instance either.
