Yeah, actually, I found this in cli/cli-cmds.c:init_cli_cmds:
/* NOTE: cagney/2000-03-20: Being able to enter ``(gdb) !ls'' would
be a really useful feature. Unfortunately, the below wont do
this. Instead it adds support for the form ``(gdb) ! ls''
(i.e. the space is required). If the ``!'' command below is
added the complains about no ``!'' command would be replaced by
complains about how the ``!'' command is broken :-) */
if (xdb_commands)
add_com_alias ("!", "shell", class_support, 0);
