i believe this is an original bug "feature" of the original (alef) version
of acme, from which the inferno acme was translated. unfortunately
i've lost access to any dumps before 2002, so i can't verify when it was
fixed.

to be honest, i think it's quite rare to use an argument with Look -
i only use Look when there's some literal text in the body
that i want to search for, but also names a file or directory.
if there's no literal text in the body, it's usually easier to type :/pattern
in the tag.
