Do you know about `C-u M-.'? This way it slurps the symbol into the
minibuffer where you can do small edits (like removing a trailing
#\. character). I find this okay so I'm not very keen on DWIM'ifying.

P.S., please send unidiffs - even in small functions it takes some
eyeballing to see what's changed :-)
