But how does the user know that?

I'd rather stay away from dwim that works in 99% of cases but do something dangerous in the 1% remaining, and complex un-guessable escape scheme to solve these few cases. The two stages (yes/no/edit, and then escape patterns) is clear, and does not require so many additional keystrokes.
