Ah, now it is clear to me (I was not paying attention close enough).

Your understanding is fine, you just missed a small caveat. You have
to put stuff that uses @, ! or ? in macro names within a block
surrounded by \unprotect ... \protect  (like the \makeat.. macros in
LaTeX). Within such a block, the @, ! and ? act as letters for use
inside macro names.

No (but I still have hopes that there will be, someday ...)
